[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back. Thank you for all of the thoughtful responses.
I think the major adjustment is the spanish. He really likes the english parts of school (part of the day is english), the specials and recess and new friends. He also seems to like his teachers. He just gets extremely anxious that he doesn't understand a whole part of the day that is in spanish. The guidance counselor has said we should tell him that he doesn't know spanish yet.. but he will. I don't find that very helpful but we have tried. We have also been working with his teacher but she is so busy and overwhelmed. She has done things like given him a little extra time and tries to tell him ahead of time what they will be talking about but he is still really anxious about it. We have also talked to a guidance counselor from his old school that we really respect and tried strategies he suggested. However, 2 months in, he is still crying and begging us not to go. We're just not sure when to give up. At this point, I am not even sure where I could switch him to for this year. [/quote]

Is this your IB school? Is that an option?[/quote]
