if he misbehaves and disrupts the education of others, then why not, why should other childrens education suffer.
you may argue, possibly with some justification, that its not his fault, fien, but its not the other childrens fault either. Mebbe you should be asking the education authority what they want to do.
personally I fed up of hearing how bad classrooms have become where in soem cases it virtually impossible for pupils who want to learn to do so precisley becasue of the behaviour of others, or the amounjt of time, energy and resources other children demand.

I am a teaching assistant and NO they can not expel a child with ADHD. The school HAS to provide an education for your son and are not allowed to discriminate at all. The school should have a meeting with you to discuss how to handle him and what plans should be put in place to ensure he gets the same education as the other children. Ask the school about getting a statement for your son - those kids with special needs can get a statement so that the school can employ someone to work with your son. Good luck!

has your son been diagnosed with adhd? my son has had some very bad behaviour in the past at school which with the things he used to do pointed to adhd the first thing i done was went to my health visitor and explained everything he would do. at the same time informed the school headteacherand talk through the problems with her and they would talk to the school psycologist who would help too. my boy was referred to a mental health worker which took about amonth depending on your situation. they were very good and acess your child for adhd. which my boy didnt have anyway but he could be attention seeking in other ways. i was given more sessions. but in worse cases of adhd your son can go on certain medication if diagnosed and the school should give you help your quite within your rights. my sons school works with my son and othe r children in the school and with the parents too. some people dont no enough about adhd and just blame the parent and child. my boys behaviour is so much different now.

Where are the details? Of course they can't expel him for having been diagnosed with adhd. He had been diagnosed, right? He is receiving treatment for it, right?
If his behavior is too distracting for him to be in school right now, then yeah, the school has the right to ask you to seek treatment before he can go to the classroom. If his adhd is causing behavior and creating an environment that's affecting everyone and no one is able to learn, then the munchkin could use some extra help with the condition.
Good luck!

Yes they can they are more likely to refer him to a different school depending on how bad his adhd is and how much special classes and help he needs. but yes my neighbours son has it and he got expelled mainly because he thought he was so smart he could use the adhd as an excuse to run a muck but unfortunatley it doesnt work like that.

Yes they can, as with any child if the behaviour is not under control.
There's measures every school and LEA have to take and the welfare of the child should always be paramount. Mybe assign a LSA to work with said child or children or arrang alternitive schooling. Nothing is decided by anyone person or overnight by that matter.

No theycan not well i dont think as long as they know he has it they should be getting help for your son through the days he is at school. Some that helps him in the class as they will get money to help him. Speak to the head teacher and see what she says about this.
Hope the websites help you in some way or another. You could also talk to the CAB they should know a little about this.
Good luck

Yes if he makes no attempt to behave as expected. Yes it's very hard and he'll have to work for it but he can't use this as an excuse and you shouldn't let him. You don't have to expect him to be perfect or even close to it but he should try. If it's "I don't have to listen in school because the doctor says I can't concentrate then it will be I don't have to work because the doctor says I can't concentrate". If he doesn't learn how to learn he's not going to become an adult and magically become responsable. Good luck but don't blame the school he doesn't have a get out of work free card.

They can for certain reasons. If your son is diagnosed, but you are doing nothing to get him treated, they will do so until you seek professional guidance and possible medications.
Now, if you are doing everything you can, and he still has issues, the school's are required to accomadate the issue, and work with the child. You're taxes are paying for that child to get educated. They must do what they can to work with the child even if it means hiring a teacher to solely work with that child.
But, like I said, if you are not actively getting the child treated for this condition, they will do this to get you to do so.

I suppose they could but probably wouldnt. If its his adhd which is the problem they may want you to send him to a better facilitated and equipted with teachers trained to deal with this.
If he is being a problem you should really get a letter from the doctor explaining that you are try to get it under control/
