[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I left out was that we had a neuropsych eval done in 3rd, thinking maybe he had ASD. He doesn't - but he did test gifted. Smart, nerdy, shy, and unathletic was a nightmare in this particular cohort, so we felt justified in putting him in public. We were told this was the best choice for him academically.

Unfortunately, his public wouldn't accept his wisc results and required the cogat for placement, which he bombed, so he's not receiving any kind of academic enrichment here. Long story short, he resents us for promising a challenge and wants to go back to his private (where the bullying was BAD but never "loose a tooth bad). He never had behavioral issues there minus crying over the bullying.[/quote]

My suggestion -- go back to his old private, and sign him up for a martial arts, and get him a therapist. Your kid needs some internal resources here, and changing schools a third time is not going to solve the problem. This problem will follow him, unless he changes.

I too have a nerdy kid, though he is outgoing. He has been doing martial arts since 3rd grade and it's transformative. He is strong and confident and there is no bullying.[/quote]
