OP, expanding on 22:28's comments...  it probably won't do you much good to ask the teacher if you think your child may have some sort of learning disability. I even asked my son's 2nd grade teacher 2 months ago and she said that she wasn't qualified to make an evaluation, but she didn't think so because he was such a good reader (he has tremendous word recognition). It was only after researching his chief symptom (can't spell worth a darn) and then seeing other things that he does, which really don't make a lot of sense given his intelligence. You're going to have to be your child's #1 advocate for seeing how well he/she is doing.

Unfortunately, K is a little early for a lot of real warning signs since most kids are developing a lot. But I began getting suspicions about midway through 1st grade and definitely this year. I'm so glad we've got it nearly figured out - he's being tested in Jan. after the holidays.

Good luck in getting to the bottom of what is causing the trouble. Try chats in the car. I've found my son is better at talking about things that bother him when he is in the backseat and slightly "removed" from me in the front seat. [/quote]
