[quote=Anonymous]My kid moved here in 4th grade.

Most of the stuff was easy.

The main issues that my kid dealt with were:

1) Not being the only top kid in the class (This was good and also an adjustment since the kid was previously used to no effort to be way above the rest of the class. It took a while for my kid to realize that she/he would not be whizzing through the work and reading independently or daydreaming the entire school day)

2) Caesar's English.  This was a struggle mostly due to the fact that the kid had to catch up a year's worth of vocab and the kid was not used to anything even remotely resembling studying.

3) Organization.  In spite of there being a rather large contingent of absent minded professor types, the hard chargers in AAP really have their shit together.  It took a full year for my kid to wrap his/her mind around the need to be organized to be competitive.  This was never necessary at the old school.

As long as your child picks up quickly and has some semblance of study and organizational skills, he should be just fine.[/quote]
