[quote=Anonymous]I could really use the thoughts of some strangers tonight. My 1st grader is recently diagnosed with adhd, very inattentive. He is in a partial immersion school, just got a 504 to help. I am going to consider something I never wanted to do, medication as soon as we can get another appointment. He is really behind in the classes in the  foreign language, not learning the language or the academic subjects like math and science. I speak some of the language at home, but he is really not picking it up after almost 2 years at this school. Not enough to understand basics.

So, I am considering taking him out of immersion and putting him in our local county school. The immersion environment is very supportive and wants to help, but he knows almost none of the language and even the teachers are concerned. I know he will struggle in both languages, but the other kids are starting to pick up the language, he is not because he isn't paying attention. Not even the very basics that have been used in the class for over a year. It kills me to admit defeat, but his education is just too important and he is only barely on grade level because the teachers give Nima lot of one-on-one time. The added wrinkle is that the local school is not a well regarded school, high poverty and title I.

Would appreciate thoughts.[/quote]
