This year I was very proactive and went to speak to the teachers ahead of time. I wanted to make sure the year got off to a great start as last year DS ended up hating school, hating himself and leaving early to HS. The teachers seemed very receptive. We have only had three days of school so far so I can't say if there was any impact on the academics but DS is really liking the teachers and seems very excited about school so far. I am keeping my fingers crossed!
