I guess I've been thinking and worrying about how school would be for ds5 for 1 year now. I kind of feel like I'm going a little crazy. I've had numerous meetings with ds teacher. I've communicated with his previous preschool teacher. I have complained A LOT here- sorry.
Ds is slowly developing a worse attitude about school and going to school. Since Christmas break, he says he is sick (stomachache) everyday and can't go to school. I make him go. Apparently, at school, he's still acting appropriate and does what he is told for the most part. As soon as he gets off the bus, he is down and grumpy. Responds well to the afterschooling we do and has some down time. Yet, the minute things are not going his way, it's major meltdowns.
During the break, I had no major behavior issues at all. I know this has to be school related. He is bored at school, not being taught appropriately at school, and frustrated with the amount of repetition there is. I really don't know what to do.
I'm not sure if I try to struggle through till May (with 1week in Feb and 1 week in April off)? I wonder if I should stop worrying so much? I don't know what else I can ask for from his teacher/ school? I'm scared to take him out and homeschool; but is this what I should do?
A couple of people have asked, what do you want ds teacher/ school to do? My answer is just challenge him and he will be happy. He loves to learn. I just don't want him to start hating school.
Thoughts? Insight? Thanks. Much appreciated.
