What to do to keep my son interested in school?
My son will be repeating the same class in Pre-school this year. He is four and a half. He was moved up last fall. My husband and I had him tested into a private school right near our home to start Kindergarten. He passed and they said he will be reading by his fifth birthday, which is in January. Now I came across one problem. I just found out that the school is not accredited so he may have to repeat Kindergarten at public school if he attends the new school this year. Most schools around here are strict on the age children should start Kindergarten. (We live in Southern California) I am stuck! What should I do? My son is getting into trouble at school because he is bored and already knows what is being taught. Can someone help me figure out what to do? This is very important to me. Thanks!

As a teacher, I hear questions like yours often. My recommendation is to address the public school to ask for testing for learning differences. You may have a learner who is classified as “Gifted”. This will allow you to help determine when and where he attends, and the attendance will count towards the kindergarten requirement. Under the “No Child Left Behind” legislation, the public school is required to analyze each case individually, regardless if you opt for the testing. Typically, non-accredited institutions will suffice as long as the child can demonstrate mastery of the required skills for entering the next grade level.
Hope this helps. ;0)

When he goes to the public school talk to counselor. Tell them your son knows everything that he is being taught and if he could move up to another grade level. They will most likely test him, but its better than wasting a year.
Good luck.

verify he is going to a secondary college that retains him involved. My son left usual packed with wish yet ended up hating the college for the 1st 3 hundred and sixty 5 days as they did not push him sufficient, he lost activity. he’s now at uni after some hollow years, yet is getting there. only shop an eye fixed on him.

Give him incentives. Do something different to make it fun. We gave our boys incentives and we still do. Of course we home school now too. But the incentives still apply and they really look forward to completing their projects/homework.
