DS6then5 went to public school K last year. I knew it wouldn't be an easy year w/ DS9then8, and he wanted to go to K so I sent him. After about 5months, he had enough of school and was begging to stay home. He finished out the year once we figured out anxiety due to excess noise in lunchroom is what triggered his issues. His teacher actually differentiated for him in language arts at least and while he complained a bit, it wasn't soul-crushing as it was for my oldest.
