[QUOTE="Dara, post: 201755, member: 3572"] Hi all. It has been a while. we are now looking for a new school for Sammy. This is his third year at this school. He has loved it and been happy to go every day. In fact this summer was one of his best yet at the school. Imagine my surprise when suddenly shortly after the school year started, he didnt want to go anymore and would cry every morning and have difficult separations at school. I tried to ask him about it but he really cant tell me so I really have no idea what is going on. his teachers one who is also the director says he is doing fine, which I dont doubt. His speech pathologist who comes to his class 2 times a week says he seems happy but can also see the problems for Sammy in the class as I do. First, there are 18 4 year olds in this class. Many of which have behavioral issues. The teachers are not willing to do what the speech pathologist has reccomended which is a picture schedule (she made one at the request of the teachers that would be big enough to use with the whole class) and a little piece of paper to fill out with Sammy at the end of the day so that we can talk about what he did in school each day. He also has been potty trained for just over a month and has been having accidents consistantly only at school. He has never had 1 accident at home. Tuesday, he had 3 accidents in 1 day. That is absolutely unacceptable to me as a parent and a teacher. If you have a child having a hard time going potty you give them extra help and attention to see what is going on. The point is, this is not the idea situation to help Sammy feel confident and successful. It is not going to help him function in a normal classroom. Today we are trying another school which will at most have 12 in a classroom is very structured and has class potty times. Hopefully it will work out. In the meantime I am very angry and sad about how things went on in the other school [/QUOTE]
