[quote=Anonymous]Our child goes to a progressive school, and has been at this school for 2 years now. They are in middle elementary years. From our perspective at home there has been a negative shift this year. Our child, who previously was at a more structured school environment in another area has started to now have behavior issues. I am not sure where this is coming from to be honest. DC seems anxious and even though the school has been trying to accommodate their not being bored at school it isn't working well so far this year.  our child is also very much aware of wanting to fit in with peers now so any special attention isn't received in the same way it would have been in the past. (Our child loved doing acamedic type projects in their own in the past and still does at home but not to the same extent) unfortunately there don't seem to be a lot of kids at this school that seek out academic challenge or interest. I base this off the fact that there is one after school type club that is service not academic in nature and when another club was proposd my child was one of two people interested.
After talking to his teacher for the third time this school year about his behavior , (at their request not ours) we feel like we might change schools after next academic year for middle school and beyond. They have noticed him being silly and say that he doesnt seem to have any deep connections with peers, but we know that other kids like him since he has been asked to have playdates and another mother said to me that her kid called DC a best friend. My concern is that since this year has been a sort of tough on for our kid, will another more academically focused and more traditionally structured school take my child?I'm now annoyed that we even put DC in this environment now since although the first year was great it is now not. School work is always done correctly, is musical and sporty and would love to he in an environment where the other kids are into academic oriented after school clubs etc. What would you do?[/quote]
