What grade is he in again? I'm thinking second? I'm just wondering if it's possible that he WAS inattentive last year but the teacher blew it off, because most first graders are kind of off task and wandering around? I think with ADHD, it tends to show up in around second grade because that's when the "normal" kids settle down. So the kids with ADHD tend to stand out. NOT saying he has ADHD, just wondering if his behavior is really worse or if the other kids are maybe more improved than he is?
DD's teacher never had anything all that negative to say about her in first grade even when she wasn't medicated, because no one really expects first graders to be on task. Same thing happened with the kindergarten teacher. She was off-task but so were half of the other kids.
