I would wait at least another year to see whether things change.

He’s only in grade one, I would give it more time. Changing schools is a big deal for a kid. Don’t put him through that unless you absolutely have to

How did your son go in Year 2?

I agree with MoM81879. A different teacher will make all the difference.

I would give it more time. It might just be the teacher, could be different next year. Help him at home to ensure he doesn’t slip too far behind academically

Would love to hear what you did and how your son is getting on

If your not happy with the teaching at the school and you don’t feel that your son is progressing I would definately change schools.

If you are not happy within a school and they are not willing to address the issue, I would definitely move schools. Education is important and every parent wants the best for their child.

there are some good comments here

I noticed how long ago you posted this. Wondering how things are going?

If you stayed – how did he end up going?

Approach his teacher with your concerns,he still might be finding his feet with the school routine.see if the teacher has any concerns and let them know yours so it might ease you mind or at least give you a more informed base to make a decision.

I agree with KATE_REID about talking to the teacher

Did you end up changing schools?

What did you end up doing?

Did you leave him or change his school?

What did you end up deciding?

If you are unhappy, you need to go in and talk with the teacher- as a mother as well as a teacher, I can say things look quite different, depending on which side of the fence you are looking from. Have a chat and see if you can work out a way to help your child before moving schools, as this can be difficult for children.

maybe spend more time at home with him to help him. I help my daughter buy getting her to read to me her reader on the weekend, do her spelling and phonics and if she is up for it i get her to work on her writing. Each night she has to do her reader (10 minutes) and we can chose to do more or not. I think it is important that parents put in some time with their children as well and not expect teachers to do all the work. If you do all this and you are unhappy with the school I would be looking around for a school that is more driven in teaching kids to progress. I hope you find what you are after. Your son maybe upset to begin with but he will make new friends and at the end of the day he will majorly benefit from it.

Was hoping all went well and if indeed you did change schools?
