Really?

Today in school Matthew's teacher didn't have him try to do math problems during the recess they made him stay in from because he lied about using the calculator for the math problems... Instead she chose to have him try the math problems at the end of the day while everyone was trying to get ready to go for the day.

When he got the problems wrong, she told him that "you can't do them, you must be lying to me..." (which is a slap in the face to me in a way because I was the one that vouched the he could do them - as we have witnessed him doing them here at home with no problems).  Matthew replied to her telling her that he could really do them, but needed absolute silence in order to concentrate on doing them.  And she told him back "well I guess I might have you stay in from recess to show me then..."

Really? My kiddo might lose a recess to prove a point about an email that I let them know that he was doing well in math at home?  REALLY?

This spurs my thought that we need to get the 504 plan going that will allow him to ask to work independently in a quiet place outside of the classroom or perhaps with headphones on in order to block out external stimuli or whatnot (it works for me at work...)

And also possibly requesting a different teacher for a fresh start to see if that makes a difference as well.
