Dear P.U.R.E., Thank you so much for your timely response and the information that you included. We are in the process of reviewing the two schools that you suggested. We may have had an easing of the situation at home tonight. Our son has finally realized that we are indeed serious about an intervention program or alternative school if necessary. He was quite shook up about it. We will see if this shift in attitude is real or just a temporary fear of his. That is a relief in itself to us just to know that help is always just a phone call away and that her services can be utilized at any time. Again we thank you sincerely for your help.
