Hes been acting out in school talking back to adults telling one that they have to teach their child manners telling a girl that she has a dog toy on her head and cring when ever he has to write in his journal or doesnt get his way.

My son did this last year in 1st grade...his teacher didnt keep his attention (he was bored and she was not a gods teacher with how she was told to teach)...he also didnt get along with one of the other kids which escalated the whole situation...we talked to his teacher and came to the conclusion that when he started to get frustrated or upset that he needed to go in the hallway to calm down. This solved the problem, this year has been a much better year. He if one of the top students in his class ...within the to three and the teacher actually knows that if he starts getting chatty our whatever the case that he needs harder work. Hang in there it will get better. Have you talked to his teacher at all? Is there more behind the story than you know? Just curiosity cause this was our case.

Maybe it's time to sit him down and have a discussion about respect, rules and expectations for school.

Father in the picture or no that crap does not fly.   Being a single mom is the suck, ive been there! Sometimes you just have to suck it up and be the dad too.  Outline clear expectations, create concequences for when he does not meet those expectations and don't raise him in an environment where he feels like he is allowed to get away with more because his dad is a non present J.A.
