My DS is having issues in school also. At this point, they are leaning toward recommending him for T-1 which is a grade between K and 1st. They don't think he is mature enough. It's not that he doesn't get the work--- he just isn't putting forth enough effort KWIM? So we have been working double time at home. He gets frustrated so easily.
I've never heard of T-1. I hope he doesn't need it but if he does, I hope it is just the ticket to get him on the right track
