The school and it's administration, teachers and peers can be rate limiting for your child. We continue to deal with this issue and my son is only in the second grade. He went to a private and very, very good preschool, kindergarten and first grade but for employment issues we moved and he attended second grade - disaster, which we are correcting at this time. Learn and understand as much as you can about your child's school and teachers - ask the hard questions. In todays world our children have no option then to not only succeed but excel at their education and it all starts when they are young. School is one of the most serious and challenging issues a parent must face and the burden is on us, the parents to ensure we get them into the right setting and for their outcome.
