[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get very nervous when I read posts like the post above - we have an energetic boy starting at Beauvoir next year - any current parents care to give advice to a new parent of an energetic boy?  is the above post true?  Do boys really have a hard time there?  [/quote]

I have a "diverse" boy at Beauvoir. The 15.13 pp is full of it. That has not been my experience at all.[/quote]

When you say you have a diverse boy at Beauvoir what do you mean (ie. race, religion, socioeconomics, etc)? If you could please share your boys experiences at Beauvoir I would really appreciate it. How does he interact with other boys? How is he treated by teachers and staff? Does he fit in ok?

My son is racially diverse. We have had a great experience with everyone at Beauvoir - teachers, parents and students. The teachers really take their time to get to know each child - my son included  - and provide specific feedback. Different teachers, on seeing me with my son, have stopped to say something nice about him. Teachers will schedule meetings to discuss any area of concern a parent might have. Of course as parents we have to be advocates for our kids and I always make it a point to talk to the teachers outside of scheduled parents conferences about my son's progress and I think this helps.  I don't feel as if my son is in any way disadvantaged by being of a different race. He has friends from all races and the parents have been particularly kind in going out of their way both to schedule play dates (we are new in K where all the other kids bar 2 were there at PreK and had already formed friendships) and parent outings - meals out etc to develop the relationships.

With respect to academics, as I said, this is our first year and so far I have been impressed with their emphasis on the 3 Rs (Reading, writing and arithmetic) and my son has moved in leaps and bounds in those areas. 
As for high energy kids - there are several. The teachers are very good at bringing all the kids to order. Your kids will do fine at Beauvoir.
