[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 469367, member: 11847"] There are 18 kids in his class and 2 teachers. My oldest who is in elementary has also a 9:1 ratio. We are in a rural area and that is very lucky. But still, it is overstimulating for him... really cannot blame the school structure though. As far as going to a different/alternative school there is none around us. We would have to be closer to a big city. And despite that our business would not allow that, city life would be a nightmare for V. Honestly, I like our local elementary school, my oldest son is doing great and LOVES it. But he also is ahead for his age and a real social bug. The perfect student for any teacher. What I wonder is how good they would be with a kid like V! And then, I also need to work. I work from home but it is really hard to focus, be on the phone, draw contracts and do accounting when there are little ones around. We would really have to think of the schedule and probably V going to work with husband every now and then so I could work in peace. We have 1 year to think about it.... and I guess the genetic testing will also affect our decision. It will help us get prepared for the future. I'm afraid that sooner or later the other kids will realize that V is different. I don't want him to suffer for things he has no control over. I have to think outside of the box. Ultimately, I want him to be happy. Shorter days seem to make him happy. Let's see if it lasts! lol [/QUOTE]
