mara, I know this seems like an odd suggestion since there are only 2 months left in the school year, but does your DD's current school, which you are considering for next year, possibly have kindy openings, preferably with kids similar to your DS? then he will get to know some of the kids in first next year, if he goes there. Just a thought.

Also, did you tell the teacher that your son cries before school each day? that is what really struck a chord with our DS's kindy teacher, and did eventually result in our DS receiving pullout instruction in 2nd grade math with the gifted coordinator. Would the current school allow your DS to do online individualized math, like aleks or EPGY for. The rest of the year?

As for homeschooling, I think it took the psychologist who tested our kiddo to convince my DH that it was a good option. I myself was resistant to the idea because of incorrect preconceptions about what it was. we now have it always as our backup, which is a relief.
