[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You intentionally changed his first language in Kindergarten so he didn't get the services that would help him perform better in school and his community and your main concern is AAP?

I would address his language issues ASAP. [/quote]

Op here. Yes; I was advised as such. He is my first, my first time going through the school system. You try being an immigrant in another country and navigating a school system you are not familiar with. I reached out for advice to those around me. That was the recommendation, I took the advice. You can judge me all you want but do it with the full context. [/quote]

I think something got lost in translation with the advice to you maybe. If a kid is already fluent in English and happens to speak another language too at home, that's normally the case where people suggest not telling the school about the other home language to avoid being pulled for services the kid doesn't need. If your child started school w/o being English fluent though then that wasn't the right direction for anyone to steer you down. [/quote]
