[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 698668, member: 1550"] kim, it sounds as if, for reasons that he perhaps is too young to have diagnosed, he can not handle the hype and routine of school. Reasons for this can be sensory integration disorder and many levels, even mild, of autistic spectrum disorder. Often they go together. You may have to wait until he is older to find out why, but your son is not acting this way to be contrary. He can't do better or he would. its not anyones fault. if this were my son I would skip the idea of a parochial school....they tend to understand even less, wrongly blame parents more and be less tolerant of defiant looking behavior. My high functioning autistic son and Learning Disability (LD) daughter went to Catholic school for two years. They didn't misbehave, but neither learned much as there was no extra attention, even though the classes were small. If you can do it, I'd keep homeschooling until you know more and can get him interventions to help him cope. I homeschooled a year and it wasn't for me but I did find an active honeschooling social group for the kids and we did a lot of fun stuff. Not all kids can do well in regular school. if you live in the U.S. and have not taken your son to a neuro psychologist, I would. They are psychologists with additional training in the brain. They often have long waiting lists, but that is because they are so good at diagnosing. They are very intensive in all areas and often catch important issues that other diagnoticians miss. I wish you good luck. Stop blaming yourself or your son. There is no fault here. One last comment. Good teachers are golden angels, but they are not psychologists and I found not very good at guessing what is wrong with a child or why and none have the right to tell you to medicate your son. They also are not experts in teaching kids who are different. I had to help many teachers help my son get a good education. Most were eager to take advice and some were hostile. Teachers are educators, not psychologists, so dont forget that. Stick to the true experts when you get feedback.
