It's possible I'm overinterpreting and/or that the root of this is something else. It's certainly surprising to get all this angst when I've never heard a peep before. Also, he is normally so easy-going and can handle situations that are less than ideal. He just hasn't seemed to possess that NEED to be in a challenging environment that DD did--until this morning! He may not be feeling well...he has some mystery complaints that we need to sort out.

He can do math in his head, but his writing would not be up to a sheet of math unless it was "circle the answer" or something. Numbers are still reversed and not very legible. (His writing of words is better.)

He does do well with new situations. Very adaptable. I do think the other school would be mostly free play, though, and I don't know how he'd like that.
