I got an email that i just noticed. It was from my sons school. Apparently they have called mw multiple times yesterday and once today. He got a one day suspension. In the email they said he was caught on the schools cameras grabbing a kid and punching him on his back. Different kids told their side of what happened ao he was supposed to be suspended. So instead of out of school suspension he got in school suspension. My son told me nothing of it. Not yesturday and not today after school. I don't know what to do to get him to tell me things. He says nothing. Weather hes in trouble at school and is told he has suspension the next day to if he has homework that day to a project that he has to do at home for school and bring it in all the way to when picture day is. I ask all the time abythings. What did he do in school. How was your day. Do you have homework etc. I don't know what to do. Hes in 5th grade. Middle school next year. Hes going to have more homework. They will rely on him tl keep up with things. To remember his homework. To DO his homework. Theres only so much i can do especially when he never talks to me about things.

You CAN'T be just taking a 5th graders word for it. Instead of asking if he has homework, check his backpack. Call the school every Monday and get a list of that week's happenings and make yourself a calendar.
Get him an agenda book and have him carry it with him all day, to every class. It'll have spaces for him to write notes on what they did in class, any homework and even places that his teachers can leave notes on homework needed, future events and all that. If you speak with his teachers and tell them you're sending the agenda book to keep him better on task and organized they'd be ALL to happy to help. Mine always were when I was in school anyway. They'd sign if I'd completed or turned in my work or anything else they felt relevant and my Mom would check it at the end of the day.
If that didn't work, she threatened to come to school with me and sit right beside me in EVERY class to make sure I was paying attention. 😳 I kept up with the agenda book with that threat.
He's in 5th grade, not 9th. You've GOT to be more involved if you expect to know all the comings and goings of one that age. SO much happens in their little days, their brains are overloaded and by the end of the day, probably genuinely CAN'T pick out one specific bit of info. I mean.... they're kids, ya know?

I have tryed that. And of course I check. His excuse is I did it in school at the end of the day and turned it in or that he doesn't have any or if I know for a fact he has homework, he says he forgot it. And the planner thing he just doesnt do it. I cant force his hand to write in a planner at school. And also he constantly has missing classwork and he always tells I did it when I ask about why he has missing work. And he'll get really angry. I'm sorry. I must not have given much info. I am involved. Constantly on top of him about things and etc and etc and etc. Like I said there is only so much that I can do

Also, HOW does your child's school try contacting you for 2 days and not able to get in touch?? That's kinda an important call to ALWAYS answer. What if it were an emergency and he was hurt or somethin? Scary.

There's a second number obviously. Actually 2 other numbers incase and it wasn't a number I recognized so I didn't answer. They usually call from specific number and that's the one saved in my phone
