acs - Your experience is definitely encouraging! Your ds sounds like a remarkable child.
He reminds me of my older dd when she was in K. However, things began to sour for her in 1st.
I agree that much has to do with personality and also with getting the right teacher. The wrong teacher can squelch even the most enthusiastic of kids which is what we saw happening to our oldest until we intervened.
There seem to be no easy answers. It is good to know that there are those who have had positive outcomes on both sides of the situation.
