Yes, we had a bit of that too. One of the other boys in class and he did not get along at all, and saddly because he would be the louder of the two he was the one to get in trouble most of the time. They each pushed each others buttons, totally oil and water. It wasn't until the end of the school year though that the teacher started sending both boys to the office.

Other kids can be so mean, and sometimes the teacher just doesn't see it. I am hoping that we won't have that problem this year.

I am in contact with a specialist who specializes in testing so I hope that once we get the process going we will learn enough to make a difference this year. Fingers crossed!
