His problem is its a small school like 150 students max he is in a 4/5 class he is year 4 i wish he was in a 3/4 class but his teacher dosnt think its a problem....he clashes with old ladys as teachers i learnt this while we were in tassie,when we moved to vic he was fantastic had teachers fresh out of uni,now in nsw has an oldie i just dont think that they have the patients now days...his class is a big class of 24 students 18 would be boys even more.he is a boy and all boys try and out do each other they all think they are better than one another etc.......i will try and do something about it,well atleast try on my behalf he has ground rules aswell now....me being so young 28,we let him do whatever he wants go to be whenever but he has abused that so i told him i am going to be like majority of his friends mums(a little older) and have rules bed 7.30 no play after school homework etc etc.i said if he can show me effort i will consider lifting some of my rules its so hard having a child who at this age thinks he knows everything etc when really i am not that much older

gosh i must be werid or something cause i am so strict with my kids. they are in bed by 7pm and asleep. I am so strict with what they eat too. and i am a very young mum as i am 25.

i think alot of behavour problems are due to lack of boundaries. my kids have a very tight bounary and they know when they go over it but i have to be this way with my son with his autism.

good luck with the new behavour ideas. i hope they work for you.

I've also noticed that the younger parents kids get picked on by the older teachers.  It does seem as though the dinosaurs teaching your son have not kept up with the times.  Who knows, maybe they will be extinct soon to and he can have a more modern teacher.

Having a schedule will help.  It will also teach him time management and personal responsibility.  Have it running with a rewards chart and you might find he takes to it and starts making more of a concious effort to change his behaviours.

Good luck, I'm so glad I only have girls, although......teen years are going to be fun!
