[QUOTE="buddy, post: 499479, member: 12886"] yes, just my point..... if he was not in such a rigid kind of environment ... I think lots of kids his age would not be too happy about the rote work. I certainly dont think his being taught in a different way means not learning reading and writing. If he learns to appreciate what reading and writing bring to the world, and it becomes relevant he is going to be more motivated to push through the challenges perhaps???? Just throwing ideas out there. I would hate for him to view "school" in general as a boring place, a place he hates, etc...and then any school in future will be colored with those feelings...individual attention or not. He may not appreciate that much extra effort as much as we parents do, lol. A 4-5 year old not knowing how to fully form letters... that absolutely IS within normal limits. If he truly has a dys.... is this school actually prepared to treat this well or will they treat it as behavior and do drill work? If all of the teachers are like she is and give caring gentle support to those challenges then you are right, this could be a great place for him to stay. by the way... this teacher is comparing J to a full class of GIRLS.
