I agree 100% Donna, it's not fair to him to just put him back into the lower functioning class just to make their lives easier, the thing is they didn't really explain to me that was what happened the last time when they put him in the lower class, they just DID it and told me they were separating him from another student that was influencing him to do bad things.
I don't know how much I trust them anymore after that, because it really wasn't right to hear from his teacher that this is what went on, that he'd been pushed back and it was because of his behavior. Well his behavior isn't any easier but it's not violent anymore. Thankfully.
