The first time he ran all the way home without the school knowing he was gone. (We live a mile away from the school with some very busy intersections). This time an Ed tech followed him. He got almost half way home before the principal and teacher caught up with them in their car. He refused to get in the car until they promised to bring him home. This is where I got a call and asked if they could bring him home.
Will was able to express his anger and frustrations with school. He told me and teachers that he has such a hard time holding it together all day at school to maintain his safety record that he falls apart at home and that is why he is so mean to me. He told us he hated not being in control at home.
Well, be was very argumentative about going back to school, but I told HIM that it was my expectation that he finish his school day. He finally relented and returned with the teachers. He finished on a positive note, and even had a good day today.
We have decided to lighten up on the expectations at home to give him a little more breathing room after a hard day at school. We shall see how this works....
