We're hoping to buy the next place. And that's kind of what I'm thinking -- narrow down the options, start shopping around, and find the best fit. And no, we don't have a real estate agent yet -- are they really helpful with school stuff? Being on the younger side, I just don't have a lot of life experience with this stuff yet. smile

And yes, he's only 5, but he's almost 6, and like I say -- it doesn't seem to be getting better after 6 months of school. I thought there'd be some improvement, but there really doesn't seem to be. On the bright side, he's getting faster at writing illegibly ... smile

And the IAS ... there's another thing that *really* irking me. I've had the manual for months and first requested that it be done back in December. Then in January we requested formally (in writing *and* in person) that it be done; the principal told us she needed to gather the materials, so she'd need a week or two. I emailed her last week to check up since it had been a while ... and was told that she needed to gather the materials, so she'd need a week or two -- and she'd contact ME when she had everything. Right. I'm calling early next week if I haven't heard from her.

When I fill in the IAS both as I would do it and as I think the school would do it, B is a "good" candidate. And ha -- it doesn't include handwriting. :P
