Questions About Switching Schools Mid Year

I understand your want to allow your son to have a happy education. But I dont agree with switching his class or schools from what you said above. He is going to have to deal with rude people as he grows up. Instead of removing him from the situation help him deal with it. I dont feel your son is in danger or that the need is there for a switch. I feel its more of a avoiding want?..if you will?? Good luck with your childs challenging behaviors . Please help him grow to not be constatnly challenging towards people but learn to help others too.

Wouldn't it be easier and less stressful for him, if you switched teachers at this point instead of schools?

Switching is challenging for any child. We have 9 weeks left. Can you go to the principal and ask to be put in another class or for the teacher to back off? You won't be back next year so you can go over the principal's head if needed without worrying.

one of my kids just switched schools this week, right after spring break. If it will be good for your child go for it. That is the only reason you need.

Maybe instead of switching schools (which would be a gamble, not knowing what's ahead at the new school) you could add something to his day or week. (karate, soccer, scouts, art lessons, children's choir at church...) That way, even though the teacher would be the same, he could have something special to look forward to and feel good about.

During a time when I was hating school (bullied,etc) I got through each day knowing that I had a dance lesson, music lesson, etc. to look forward to. There wasn't something for every day, but having something special that I enjoyed and was good at made all the difference.

For my son, when he was the age of your son, it made all the difference that we had a routine of going for ice cream one day a week right after school. It was his special "me" time when he knew that he got 100% of his dad's attention to talk through the week.

My daughter is younger (preschool), but I had to switch her school in January. Her prior school had become unbearable (for me, as much as for her), and they were treating her very unkindly. It was a very difficult decision, as it was associated with my church. And, it was kind of rough for a few weeks. That said, it was the absolute BEST decision I've ever made, and it has made a HUGE difference in my daughter's confidence, happiness, and behavior. I had not idea how negative the situation had become for her. My only regret is that I did not move her sooner, rather than trying to work with the school and work through it. If your son is coming home unhappy every day, he's probably not learning as well as he could and his school situation is not working for him. My opinion is to go ahead and make the switch now but ideally try to put him in thr samr school as he'll attend next year. That way he's tried it out this year and knows what to expect going into it next year (less anxiety for all over the summer).

You only have 4 more mts before school closes. You should have talked to the teacher a long time ago. It's not to late. When e pass. He won't have her. But if he don't like the school put him where he is happy. Keep us posted.

keep him where he is. You should have talked to the teacher a long time ago. It is not to late. He won't have her any more. If he's not happy then move him. You only have 2 mts to go.
