Thank you all. So happy I have this board. MoN... I keep telling myself I have a buffer. Even if this year goes badly, he's ahead. I do think it will be great and less stressful for us all. A new normal.

I forgot another good part. When the teacher was asked about DS she said something like, "Oh he's doing fine" and then went on this tangent about how he's afraid of TV (true) and I asked how it was relevant to his education and she said, "We occasionally use the TV". Give the child a book, for goodness sake. It's like they needed a negative. Do NOT accelerate this one- he hates TV!!
