[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - honestly, I am tearing up - you have all helped me immensely - it is so hard to watch your child struggle with the school. He does have friends, but comes home defeated often as they document every single thing he does wrong. His therapist who has been working with kids in privates for 20 years says that 98% of the stuff documented falls under normal kid behavior. There is a 2% that obviously falls outside that we need to address. Or maybe we need less of the normal kid behavior too  - at home he's delightful and he does very well in his sports. I am trying to count the days until summer break. [/quote]

I'm the PP who mentioned Commonwealth, but after reading your last post, I think there's a good chance your kiddo just needs to get out of that school and will be fine elsewhere (with some supports maybe, maybe not, but overall fine).

My DS was at a well-regarded, rigorous private school and they were so worried about him every time we talked with the teachers and the administration.  He was able to do the work but they just kept harping on his social challenges (no outbursts, just problems with social cues) or his ADHD symptoms like blurting out answers, etc.  After 3 years of this, we moved him and he is doing just fine with minimal support now that the teachers are not expecting him to be - well, a kid that doesn't have ADHD.  And we as a family are so much more relaxed because he's not getting constant negative feedback.  I hope he does great where ever he ends up, and he's lucky to have a parent like you.[/quote]
