[quote=Anonymous]My son quietly and obediently went to school everyday for 4 months. It never really seemed to be an issue.
Suddenly last week he started crying before school and after much prodding he finally he told me he didn't like school b/c some of the teachers yell.
DS is always on green so the "yelling" is never directed towards him but he still doesn't like it.  There are a few kids who are a handful in his class so I imagine a raised voice may be required to get their attention on occasion.  
He also tells me the school day is too long and that he is bored and knows everything they teach him already.  I have volunteered in his class and the students vary quite greatly in their abilities so he probably does know most if not all of what they teach.  I am hoping this second half of the year will be more challenging but I don't think it is wrong to reinforce the basics.

The fact that he doesn't like school make we very sad.  He doesn't have to love it but liking it would be great.  I have spoken with all the right parties at the school and I have a mtg with his teacher next week but I know I am not the only person who has ever gone through this.  So if you have BTDT please let me know what worked, or even what didn't work for you.
