Mia,
Im glad that there seems to be some positive "wheels in motion". Your school sounds pretty proactive, which Im starting to learn is not as common everywhere. (which is such a disservice).
Oh, regarding the handwriting; I just have to add that my dd7 had the worlds worst penmanship! It would drive me nuts, being the anal perfectionist that I am! It was horrible. The problem with dd is that she would think faster than she could write and did not care AT ALL how it looked on paper. We still had problems with her handwriting last year in 1st grade! Finally, a light went on and she's improved 10-fold. Her 2nd grade teacher is big on neat writing and it has helped dd tremendously. Phew! Im so relieved. Hopefully your sons penmanship improves sooner than my dd's but I honestly wouldn't worry too much! GL!
Trinity,
"It's like saying Antibiotics don't help with infections if there is a strong custom to only allow perscribing the antibiotic at one tenth the effective dose"
Excellent point!
