[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the responses (mostly).  I did not intend to seem like I was asking advice for my personal situation.  I was trying to ask a more general question based on trends I see in my child's school and in many other schools as well.  But it seems regardless many of you think a special education designation should be applied for mere behavior problems to minimize disruptions to others and maybe help the offending child too.

But at least a few see things as I do-that special education should be reserved for children who struggle academically due to disability.  After all, if school standards are being raised, extra support and behavior management techniques should be standard for the general education classroom to deal with all the variations of normal.  Children shouldnt be suddenly classified as "disabled" just because Kinder is the new first grade.

As for my personal situation, we will continue working on the issues at home and waiting for maturity to kick in.  If there is not enough improvement by 2nd grade, private school might be our best option.

Food for thought:

Again, thanks for the different pespectives.

Why is having something wrong with your brain that causes delays in speaking or reading a disability but having something wrong with your brain that affects behavior not?[/quote]
