[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is “not liking school” even an option in your house. Tell him to suck it up. We have some friends at our private school who every day the mom asks the child if she like the teacher or not. Guess what? The kid stopped confused and thought about it and now says every time she doesn’t like the teacher. Why? No response. [/quote] People like this should just get off of this board. Seriously. My kid generally does not like school. My other kid loves school. For kids with certain needs, it is just really hard. OP, it sounds like you've worked really hard to try to find him a good fit, and the fact that he likes the social piece is great. As long as you're not dealing with school refusal, I'd take it as a win. I have the point of view that for some kids school is just getting through. My DD is now fairly content and not refusing to go, so my goal is to get her a diploma. It doesn't mean they won't be successful in life. I struggled all through school myself. Hated it. In the 70's-80's they couldn't figure out what was "wrong with me," except that I didn't "apply myself." Now that I have two ND kids I know that if it was now, I"d probably be diagnosed with something. But as I matured and found what worked for me (long after public school and well into college), I pulled myself together and I'm now successful in a competitive profession. I still have info gaps (math! My DH does the finances), but it all came out okay. [/quote]
