[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YY parent.  I have found the inexperienced young teachers without children have absolutely no clue about six and seven year old boys inability to sit still for hours.  [/quote]

Another YY parent of a first grader boy.  [b]That hasn't been our experience at all.  [/b]No one expects 6/7 yr olds, boys or girls, to be able "to sit still for hours."  The classrooms don't have desks but tables and academic work, "the daily five", is done by moving from station to station.  Kids are expected to be able to sit on the carpet during morning meeting and group instruction for 45 minutes max but even that usually involves standing up and moving and not just sitting.[/quote]

Talking with mothers at the playground, you might be in the minority.   I'm glad you have not experienced the incessant emails about little Johnny not sitting still in daily five, etc.  [/quote]

Oh but I have got them:  If the school is sending incessant emails about behavioral or any other issues then the parent should have a meeting with the teachers and ask for a formal evaluation.  I did.  My child has an IEP and is now getting the supports and services he needs.

I agree that the school can do a better job about communicating when a child should be evaluated but am very happy with their support for SN services once we got the IEP.  The teachers are not sending the emails b/c they want to harass the parents about "typical" little boy behaviors but the parents need to pick up the ball too. [/quote]
