[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 499895, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Here's my 2 cents. It appears he is doing fine with this "severe" teacher now. I would suspect that at least 70% of boys "hate" school and will let you know vocally. It doesn't necessarily mean it will negatively affect them later..... I think Waldorf schools are wonderful, for typical students. I think there are some difficult children who would thrive at a Waldorf school. But my son, with adhd, highly impulsive combined type, there was no way he would thrive in that environment. His impulsivity would have been off the charts and he would have had an incredibly difficult time focusing. Being in the resource room in 4th and 5th grade in language arts and math was a boon for my difficult child. He knew and testing on all the same academics as the mainstream kids in LA and math, but his team teachers worked wonders with the Learning Disability (LD) kids. It prepared him for middle school and he was totally mainstreamed, with some mods, by end of 7th grade in public school. Now, that was my 2 cents based on experience and multiple visits to Waldorf and Montessori schools when switching difficult child from a private school when he was five. My advice - follow your gut and stop worrying about problems that might arise later. There is some benefit to looking forward, but with a difficult child, you just never know. You will know when something is wrong and only you truly know your son. Have confidence in that and let nature takes it course. You will be guided by his need - his true need, not just his desire.
