The poor little bugger is so down on himself about being wrong. I tell him time and time again that being wrong is ok bc we learn from mistakes. His teacher (2nd one this year) came out today and told me that he is doing very poorly. He won't participate at all and says "I don't know" for everything. Even things he should know. He does spelling and reading and counting perfectly for me at home and shuts down at school. Now Im not one of those Mom's that sees their child as perfect either. He has had a lot of issues right back from j.k. So for him to do stuff for me is awesome. But he won't do it at school for some reason. I feel really bad for him bc he is going to end up either failing or in special ed. And I don't think he needs special ed. Im at a loss on how to build him up. For the past 2 years he has gotten used to one teacher and then had them leave and a new one come in. He was making progress with the last teacher and is now back sliding with the new one. But I really think his confidence is also a huge issue. The kids in his class are mean and rude to each other also. His kindergarten teacher once told us all that she has never seen a meaner group of kids! Any advice that isn't smart ass is appreciated. Thanks!
