Always acting out in pre-k

My SS is HFA and it seems he is getting worse and worse in class. Each day we get a progress report or sorts letting us know how he did in morning circle, breakfast, recess, etc. Most days, SS says he had a great day, but when we look at the report it's bad. Each one says he is hitting, biting, throwing things, kicking students/teachers, or yelling.

We have tried talking to him about his behavior, but it goes right over his head. He knows he was bad, because when we do try and talk, he will say, "Let's talk about this later," and try and change the subject. When he sees that we won't budge, he just zones out.

At home, we did time outs, and it worked well when he had a melt down. He rarely acted out at home after that until the past couple weeks. In class, they don't like to single kids out which is understandable, so they don't want to do time outs. We also don't want to focus on just punishment. We had tossed the idea around of telling SS that if he was bad (not just acting out a bit, but seriously bad) then when he come home he will be put in time out for 5 minutes, but we're unsure of that. Do you have any experience with your child acting out at school? And if so, what did you do to remedy the situation?

We're also worried because he will start kindergarten in the fall and socially he's not ready.

    I totally hear you---my son who is pre-k does the SAME thing.  He's in a special needs class.  They actually are not recommending traditional kindy for next year but developmental instead.  I'm torn, but it prob is for the best.

    This is pretty much the story of my life. My DS does bad behaviors sometimes at school and the teacher reports to me each day.

    Auntie hit the nail on the head.

    What happens at school should be handled at school. Teachers should be trained t

    I had never thought about the compartmentalizing before. SO talked to his teacher today about getting copies of his reports on the days we don't have him. We have him two day per week, and unfortunately SS's mom says he neeeeever acts like that with her.

    He is in a public school pre k and there's about 15 in the class? I know for him that's a lot going on. He's very stimulated. We've had IEP meetings, only one of which I've been able to attend. He has another coming up soon. I'm not sure if his teacher

    Thank you for all the advice. I will have to look at everything with my SO.

    As for SS mother, she says he doesn't have autism or any other problems and doesn't make much of an effort to help him, which is why this is extra frustrating. She h
