One of the things that's struck me having read this forum for the last few months is how many of your children were unhappy in preschool and early elementary school (if they even went) and that so many of you either withdrew them to homeschool or found other solutions such as switching schools or acceleration. As we discuss how to deal with DS7's continuing unhappiness in school, we continue to get comments like "I never liked school and I went." Therefore, I thought it might be helpful for DH to read your experiences in one thread, rather than my showing him many different threads.

So, for those of you who don't mind the repetition, could you please post your children's early school experiences (preschool through 3rd or 4th) here and what, if anything, you did and why?

Thank you!
