[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP, forgot to clarify re: who thrives and who doesn't, I honestly can't think of any "type" of child that didn't thrive in my child's classroom.  There were kids who came in with pretty big challenges, and many of those challenges were still there (because they were way bigger than a school can address), but I also saw them seem to do better, have skills at the end of the year that they didn't at the beginning (like morning sign in, and being able to focus on the carpet, and not seeming off the chain at pick up).  And as I said, the "super brilliant" kid who was also pretty shy and introverted, he seemed to do really well, my DC is an extrovert and super social and (we think) very very smart, and she did well... the class had all types, and they all seemed in a better place by year end.

And when my kid went to "sit and watch" (time out) several times in one 2 week period, I appreciated the conversations we had with the teachers abotu why they thought it was happening, what was going on, what they suggested we do.  It helped, and she hardly had any more sit and watch the rest of the year.

I have worked closely with schools for most of my career and our child is our only so far so I probably have an excessive interest in the classroom dynamics re: all the kids, not just mine, so I talked to the teachers a lot and spent a little more time lurking in the mornings watching things than most parents probably do.  That probably sounds creepy!  But what can I say... it's important to me.[/quote]
