[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 467305, member: 4264"] Wishing you luck on biting that tongue Monday. Nothing stopping you from giving them a call after that meeting if you suddenly realize some important things weren't discussed, so as a loving grandparent you thought it appropriate to call and bring those things to their attention ;). I hope they can find a way for the teacher to enjoy him and that he can hold his own at least enough to remain in class. It sounds like a structured and disciplined environment with expectations will do him a world of good. I've always been a firm believer that as much as kids like to rebel at some of the rules, kids feel loved, guided and cared about when they have rules and structure. I know so many kids would say they'd love no rules or guidance, to be free to do what they want. But I've yet to meet a kid who has that kind of life that is actually happy. They know that a lack of rules, structure and guidance and discipline equals a lack of attention or thought put into their development. I think he'll eventually thrive in school at least emotionally. And being away from home all day, 5 days a week, is a good way for him to know the world does not operate as his parents do. [/QUOTE]
