[QUOTE="bystander, post: 33280, member: 3614"] I am new too - and wanted to chime in on saying hi. Our situations are similar on a couple of notes. My son is 6 and has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). He's in first also - but is signficantly past that in academics. He started having behavior issues around mid-year that have escalated into noisy outbursts. This is due (we believe) to the atmosphere in the classroom (it's run Montessori-style with a lot of disorganization, but it's a public charter school); and his "friendship" with another boy that has a true Jekyl and Hyde- like behavior (including violence = punching & kicking). He's never been a problem anywhere else - no matter the type or size of activity/venue. His (private) therapists totally agree that it has to be the atmopshere and issue with this other boy. We're concerned however, that the school sees this as a deeper problem because they know he has sensory issues and was in therapy - although he's already had a full neuro evaluation to no diagnosis-avial. The parents of this other kid have refused to get their son tested and help him; they think it's just "boy" behavior. Sooo, DS' teacher wants a meeting with us, the Principal and the "Learning Consultant" - pseudo for psychologist I think. This school certainly isn't working out. He did totally fine last year in the private Kindergarten we had him in ... and does fine in places like Sunday school with 25-30 kids. I wonder sometimes if we'll have to do the same (homeschooling). We're going to give it a go in a traditional academic setting next year (probably a Christian private school). I don't expect a problem - but if there is - we may have to seriously consider other options. [/QUOTE]
