[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black mom with young boy.[b] First private school attended ds was 1 of 3 back boys in his class and there was not mesh/fit with classmates or teachers or admin. S[/b]econd private school ds is unfortunately one of few black kids in his school, and he loves it there and so do we. He is in first grade and misses his friends and teachers over the weekend.  Teachers and admin and parents are engaged, kind and responsive. School only goes to second grade so I'm thinking ahead myself. [/quote]

What do you mean, " there was not a mesh/fit with the teachers, classmates and admin ?

As far as 4 year olds, " meshing in with them" requires that a child be kind, share, caring towards other kids, listen while otehr kids are talking, and not hit,bite or kick anyone or be bossy.

As far as a " fit with the teacher" that requires DC follow class rules, listen when teacher and classmates are talking, follow teachers instructions on projects/assinments, transition in an orderly manner , be able to sit still, and not hit, bite ,kick other classmates or take toys away from other kids.

As far as "fit with the school" that reuires that parent accept feedback from the teachers and admin about the DC, that they support the school's behavior expectations  and that they not be a PITA.

Pretty easy, no ? How does an admitted child/family manage to "not fit/mesh" if they managed to be admitted in first place. It would seem taht there was an issue identifed early on and parent did not agree or would not address it. I cannot see any other way a child could not "mesh" with other 4 year olds who will play with anyone who is standing in front of them, unless the kid repeatedly blows it.[/quote]
