[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does child do at home?  If they only behave like that at school, its a bad school fit.[/quote]

Not necessarily.  Expectations at school and the group setting are different than what a child experience at home.  It could be anxiety, ADHD, or a learning difference that make being in the classroom difficult which could lead to poor behavior or the inability to meet behavior expectations.  It may also show up at home, but it may not.  Conversely sometimes kids behave perfectly at school and then come home and fall apart.  Fit certainly could be an issue, but it also might not be.  Having the child evaluated by a professional to figure out what is going on is far more likely to work than just changing schools.  The evaluation may show that a different school would be a better fit, but finding that right-fit school armed with information about what the child needs is going to lead to a more successful transition than just moving to the school down the road and assuming the problem will then go away.
