[quote=Anonymous]I’m a parochial school supporter but most of them are not set up to kids outside the “box” (extremely bright, special needs, behavioral issues, etc.) If you think he can mainstream, I’d suggest looking at an all boy’s environment. There is sometimes a tendency among poor/inexperienced teachers to treat normal boyish behavior as inappropriate, essentially treating boys as “defective girls” because they socialize differently, don’t sit still as well, tend to be more physical and so forth. Of the local boy’s schools, I’d suggest The Heights as somewhere to explore. It has the reputation for being a very masculine environment, which isn’t for everybody but might help here. Another poster mentioned Mater Dei. I think it would be important to be forthright with the school. [/quote]
