Eibbed- sorry this was the outcome. I so agree the educators want to show you is how they need to be in current situation. Ds teacher has told me a number of times that she knows that ds knows all the info, but can use "use the info to write a better sentence" or "learn a different way to explain answer".

What are you thinking about doing next year? I have been thinking long and hard about this. I'm actually thinking homeschooling may be easier and more fun for me and ds. Yet, my dh is not yet on board. He wants to "try" next year. I think it will be a waste of time, but we'll see. (Especially as dh also thinks ds should probably skip 1st.)

Sorry, I don't want to derail your thread about your ds. It's just kind of amazing how much of a similar situation we are in. Hang in there. Love seeing your posts!
