Hi Kriston
I would normally agree with you on this. And I don't fully disagree. (Lets see how much more vague I can be, lol) In our cased it may be true, our DS6 is very happy at school. The school is for HG kids. In discussions with some of the parents only some have some behavior issues, most seem minor. I consider ours a minor one, I just never considered that being at a new school might make him more sensitive, tired, irretable, etc... It could also be the 45min to 1 hr drive each way, or just normal 6 year old behavior. However you are correct that if a child is stating that things are not well with school and then they also start acting out, it's most likly the school.
I had to re-read JBs post to see if his son was upset with the school, or if they where upset with the lack of challange they saw. Like us I was hoiping for more challange, but since my DS6 seems ok, how much of this is my issue. I am waiting to see.
I am not saying that my issue is the same as JBdads, it was just an observation, and an interesting point brought up in the parenting class offered at the school for new parents.
So far I am very happy with the school.
