[quote=Anonymous]I’m sure your kid is bright, OP. But lots of other kids in the class are bright too, and they’re not behaving this way. And while you think your child is smarter than the other kids, the truth is you have no idea. The characteristics you described are not at all uncommon in local independent and public schools. If your child is picking up on your attitude about how special he is, it is t surprising that he is not behaving appropriately in school. If I were you, my focus would be on how to help my child with his attitude and behavior, not trying to find a different school that will accommodate his poor behavior.

The report card isn’t a place to tell you how amazing your child is; rather, it is an opportunity to identify areas for growth. For instance, my high school student with an A+ in a certain class had two areas of growth identified in his most recent report card comments for that class. I can see from the grade that he’s mastering the content, but it is great to know the teacher will help him continue to improve beyond the test scores. [/quote]
