[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are not a good fit for your current school - different priorities and goals. So yes, apply out.

You're going to need excellent recommendations, especially if the report card raises red flags around behavior. So you need to get on top of it IMMEDIATELY.[b] Set up a meeting with the teacher. Tell him/her you want to partner in addressing the behavior and ask what you can do. Express to your child that bad behavior won't be tolerated [/b]just because he's bored and follow through. Sure, also work on options for keeping him engaged, but in the short run you want to make sure the school sees you as an active partner in addressing their concerns and that they see your child's behavior improving.

Don't argue with the school about whether their curriculum places the right emphasis on the right things, whether they need to differentiate more for your son, etc.. The reality is that they're highly unlikely to change for you, so your best option is to find a better fit, which likely requires them to think well of you and your child. Focus on that.[/quote]

This is about as good as advice comes on this forum - and its FREE

And stop it with the denial that your kid is just bored. Clearly the teacher is telling you he is both a pill and not the sharpest knife in the drawer to boot.
