Yes, ditto this! Although for us, only the last 6 months were truly successful, so I'm quite happy if something works for even 6 months. smile

As with any potentially perfect plan, it's just a plan, and sometimes in execution it doesn't work out quite so well. Going into kindergarten and second, we had great plans on paper, but neither really worked out. Hence the transfer mid-year second grade. With luck, plans work out enough so that you're not pulling your hair out with all the advocacy you are required to do.
