[quote=Anonymous]Hi Op, my son is ADHD so I realize not the same though it is quite significant and he was medicated early as a result. I was also really nervous. I truly couldn't imagine my child doing well in a big classroom with a bunch of kids. I have been shocked at how well my son has done in public school (APS). His class is 22 kids (bigger than I would like but could be worse), there is a teacher and teacher's assistant in every classroom, two recesses. He has an IEP and as a part of that the special education teacher assigned to kindergarten is in his classroom two hours a day, supporting 3 students. It may not sound like a lot, but between specials, recess, lunch, she is there a good portion of the academic time. So during that time there are three teachers in the room, one particularly lasered in on my son and a couple others. The structure of public school has been much more helpful than I imagined and he is doing really well. Not just ok, WELL. Learning, happy, not disrupting others from what we've heard. It has been such a great surprise.

Hope you also have a good experience in Kindergarten wherever you end up![/quote]
