[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you're stuck with this uncertainty, OP. My experience is that kids generally want to do well and not get into trouble, so unless your son is contemptuous about some of the rules or what he's learning, I'm inclined to think that some of this behavior is beyond his control. I wonder if talking to a learning specialist or similar would be helpful or even finding some dippy "does my child have ADHD?" quiz to help articulate what some of the common behaviors are (hint: focus is only a part of this issue.) I took a quiz for my 3rd-grader and it focused the picture for me, naming some things I didn't think were related but which are.

In addition, I don't think most private schools have the strongest handle on these things because they have selective admission and can counsel students out. Public school teachers and specialists have seen much more. Not saying that a public school would be better for your child (I don't have enough info to judge), but that although people think private school staff have wisdom in recognizing what issues kids might be struggling with, I don't find that to be the case.

It sounds like you're on the start of a journey and need some expertise beyond the school and beyond this forum. I wish you and your son the best!  -- from a parent of a 3rd-grader also on a journey
