Question

I moved to Pennsylvania from New York 4 years ago. My son was 9 and in the third grade when we moved. He is now 12 and in the 7th grade. I have been having problems with the intermediate school he is in since last year. Since starting this school my son has been labeled a disruptive child, we never had this problem before, the teachers have mentioned to me how the children coming from NY all have difficulty adapting to this school system. I never understood this. My son was in honors classes in NY, he has always tested advanced in math and on the high side of proficient in reading and writing in the State exams in both NY and PA. The only class my son has struggled in has been Language arts and reading. It so happens that these are the teachers that have voiced the problem with NY children. Now they have transferred him to a special ed class. I am worried about the stigma this will be placed on my son. What rights do I have to stop them. His overall average is 78%.
