[QUOTE="Malika, post: 499476, member: 11227"] Thanks Buddy. I guess the thing is that I am not at all sure that J will have no difficulty reading and writing. There are all the dys things - dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc - which may be waiting to pop out of the woodwork :) The teacher says that he is slower to learn than the other children (which given that he is of normal IQ is in itself quite surprising) but because it is such a privileged environment where she has lots of time to give him one to one help, he is at the "normal level". Perhaps I fear that in another environment, he would not learn to read and write well... and this is such a fundamental skill, obviously. As for the hating school - take your point about all kids not being keen, but for me it is really aberrant for a child of five to be saying this... the time when a child has so much natural curiosity and wonder about the world. I loved primary school, really loved it - just an ordinary state (public) village school in Britain, but this was in the days when learning was allowed to be creative and fun :) [/QUOTE]
