I just pulled my son out of kindergarten last week after one month of school. The teachers suggested that he was not mature enough to handle school. I will enroll him again next year. He is very smart and could recognize many letters of the alphabet before he was 2. I know that this has nothing to do with his ability or his intelligence. How can I work with him to ensure that he is ready for school next year? - Want To Help
Answer: Instead of being so quick to withdraw your son from kindergarten based upon his teachers' say-so, you need to request that he be formally evaluated now to be sure that this is the best thing for him. The school might be able to offer him the help he needs to continue in kindergarten this year or to help him be prepared for kindergarten next year. This issue needs to be addressed now so that your son will not face the same problems again next year.
