I really need some advice .. My Son is currently in Reception and from the 1st month he started at the School I thought I made a mistake with my choice. Since starting last September there has been frequent swear words he has learned from the other children .. when I spoke to the head teacher about this she basically just rolled her eyes and said not every parent has my view with swearing and left me quite frustrated. On the plus side he is very bright and one of the top 3 learners in his class and loves to learn however there is only them 3 out the class of 20 that enjoy learning and the rest of the class aren't really interested and because my Son is quite ahead it feels like he's been stuck where he is since Christmas and not moved forward much since then. There is another School where he has 2 friends which offers so much more academically and it is abit further to drive but it is a lovely School and he will have so many more opportunities to get on .. so after some issues I have decided to change his School and he's been excited to start his new School where he already had 2 friends so we all went today for a tour and he's gone all nervous on me today he was sick before the viewing and also 3 times after I'm sure this is not a bug and it is his nerves at the minute he's not himself. He is due to start his new School on Monday and now I am more worried than ever if I have made the right decision changing Schools .. any advice much appreciated. I've been reading reviews that changing Schools can set a child back 6 months academically and I'm so worried because he is a clever and bright boy
