Welcome MonetFan,
So glad you could join us!
This part above really opened my eyes. Question is - how far are you willing to go so that DS doesn't follow in your footsteps? Of course you are going to have to step outside your comfort zone and test, advocate, skip, change schools or all of the above if you don't want history to repeat itself.
Love and More Love,

I agree with Grins. First you need to have testing done so that you have ammunition in the form of cold hard facts. Then you need to forget the picture perfect childhood that you are carrying around in your head. Then you need to figure out what makes your DS' picture perfect childhood. Advocating, pleading, skipping grades, changing schools, homeschooling, sometimes jumping up and down, pulling your hair out are all things that we've done here. No one teacher can be the greatest for every child and these kiddos tend to push even the best to the limit.
It's a very different road that we travel, but it is amazing! Don't get discouraged. When you start to get overwhelmed, we're here. Search back through the old posts and you'll see just how many have the term "venting" in the title.
Hold on tight, the ride is wild!!
