[quote=Anonymous]Op, the same thing happened to me with my then kindergartner - the lunch bunch thing. I called the counselor and found out that only 5 kids (out of almost 100 in the grade) were being asked to do it. Despite denial from the counselor, it which was clear signal to me that things were not going as well for my child as the teacher was communicating.

I directly asked the teacher if my child’s behavior was out of the norm. We would have provided private therapy. The teacher and counselor said my child was fine.

I decided to go ahead and get my child tested for ADHD. The testing requires the teacher to fill out their ratings for my child. The same teacher who told me my child was fine rates my child to be outside the norm (not in a good way).

My take-away from that experience was that the school will not raise issues that they don’t really want to address, even if you ask. I’m guessing it’s becasue they don’t want to provide the additional supports.

My child actually has ADHD and dyslexia. We provide private therapy and tutoring and moved DC to a private school becasue we lost trust that our public school is a good partner.[/quote]
