Have you addressed his being bored with his teachers and the administration? Are you doing anything to help his ADD issues?

My 7 year old is pretty bright. She's in gifted classes and has advanced work and is still bored. I talk to her teacher about once a week, and we come up with extra projects and special responsibilities for her.

There are several homeopathic remedies to help ADHD. I think I've posted a link in one of the stickies in the special need forum - I'll see if I can find it for you. Meds likely wouldn't change how he feels about school, but they might let him better focus which would allow him to function better at school. They definitely helped my middle child enjoy school more.

Not riding the bus here means the child pays for my gas for me to drive them. I really can't afford to drive people every day. Unless there's a problem on the bus (and I'll work to solve it!), my kids ride the bus.
