DH and I just got back from our first report card for DS7
He was put ahead a grade this year into 3rd.
Basically his teacher off the record advice, get him out of the public system and put him in a private school, home school or find a Montessori. She also said she really thinks that he needs OT. The only OT teacher at the school is a nightmare.
My head is about to explode!
We are looking at a private school, but we are hoping that we can get full financial aid. I have thought about home school, if he gets into Johns Hopkins CTY. (We are waiting for his results of the scat.)
We can't afford anything- DH and I are both out of our minds with stress.
Just to make things interesting DS7 has been diagnosed with this cluster headaches, and the supplement that the neurologist prescribed has the side effect of depression. This morning after the meeting I had to leave my otherwise happy go lucky kid in tears. (He has only taken it for 2 nights and we are already seeing the side effects.)
I know that all these issues are solvable..... but right now I need to vent.
