    Ok, I'm taking a deep breath. Thank you all, seriously, for making this journey so much easier to navigate, for your words of wisdom and experience. I think I got a bit bent out of shape when I met with the educational psychologist who strongly recommended a skip now and reading a nation deceived, etc.
    It's so helpful to read your responses. Thank you!

    Hang in there, Slammie. My DS6 sounds so much like yours. We would be going through the same thing if we were in public school- last year was a nightmare. It's important for others to learn that these kids don't present as high achievers. I hope it all settles soon for you both!
