[quote=Anonymous]His teacher is phenomenal -- the best of the the five K teachers at his MoCo school. I absolutely love her, and I actually think she is the ideal personality fit for our son. And BTW, no one is pushing medication, certainly not his teacher. She has been working with us/hom on his behavior, and we have an EMT later this week. Would our son fair better in a small class at a private school? Probably, but financially that's not doable for us right now, and our elementary school is one of the best in the county, so I want to give it a shot. I don't think Montessori would be a good fit for him. He needs more structure. His teacher says she sees moments of brilliance in him, but she feels many more of these moments are being lost or suppressed due to the lack of focus/attention and inability to act appropriately/impulsivity. He is not quite reading yet, despite having strong pre-reading skills upon entry to K. I can tell when I read with him, the attention is the culprit. For example, instead of looking at a word and taking a moment to sound it out (which I know he can do), he'll immediately guess at the word based on the picture or other context. He is really a text book ADHD case. If you go down the list of symptoms, you can pretty much check off everything. [/quote]
