[quote=Anonymous][quote]Rather than work with the program to try to make it more appropriate for your child (additional recess, less seat work, strategies for handling the times he gets handsy) you decide to avoid the problem by giving him the "gift of time." Which means taking a year from his adulthood and taking it onto his childhood. [/quote] I sent my son to K on time because my ex would not agree to redshirt him. In third grade now, DS is fine. But realize that a public school is not going to change the program to make it more appropriate for your child. It is not an issue of "avoiding the problem." If you don't think the curriculum and expectations will work for your child, you need to change what you're doing, because the program isn't going to change (unless you get an IEP for a kid who really has nothing wrong with them but being antsy and slightly immature).[/quote]
