It does not sound like you have any kind of specific claims agains the school. Has your son been diagnosed with any disabilities, learning or otherwise? If they are not allowing for accomadations to any special needs your son has, there might be a case. Have you considered having your son seek psychiatric counseling? From your question it sounds as if he has violent tendencies. I do not doubt that his grades are suffering, but from your question, it sounds as though your son is making poor life choices and decisions. Have you requested a meeting with the school? Have you seen any of the administrators or the school counselor? Have you looked for any outside counseling? Has he always been like this or is this a recent development? Perhaps something in his life changed that triggered this bad behavior? I hope everything can work out for you and your family.
