[quote=Anonymous]This thread has been very eye opening. I now realize that DS was almost or in the process of being counseled out of school a couple years ago. I didn't even know until reading these threads that this was probably what was happening. We were getting the vague reports - mostly pleasant about how smart DS is and how he makes lots of friends but they are working with him on transitions and staying focused. The problem was we were not seeing most of the problems at home. The break through actually came at a summer camp he attended. They had great counselors and provided several strategies to help him transition better. Fast forward 4 years later at same school he is now doing great with great reports.

I do think schools need to be more explicit about how serious the issues are. In some teacher meetings, the teacher spent most of the time talking about the positives and at the very end brought up the negatives when time was running out and not enough time to delve into the details. I understand it may be uncomfortable for a teacher to provide the hard news but isn't that what the assistant heads of school, learning specialists and academic advisors are there for?[/quote]
