hi all i wasn't sure wether to put this post here or in education so thought I would try here first.

I am really struggeling my my ds hes in year 1 at school oldest in his yearhes in a yr 1/2 mixx class. He has always loved school but last few weeks has moaned school was boring.I just thought it was normal kids being kids stuff so ignored it.

The last 2 days its moved up a level in that he doesn't want to go to school anymore as its to easy and boring. Ive spoken to his teacher and hit my head against a brick wall as u get told he hasn't ticked all the boxes to move up levels. In the next breath i get told hes now being loud and disruptive in class when hes finished his work and everyone else is still working.

I was in tears this morning at school as I can't cope with it anymore he is having major meltdowns at home and won't listen to anything i tell him he argues with me stamos his feet everything. After 20 mins he calms down then comes up to me crying and apologising for it.

I don't know what to do for the best anymore any advice would be appreciated.

Shamless bump after another bad morning

Oh, poor you. That sounds awful. My DS is in a split class like this and I have wondered how the older ones cope. Did the teacher say what subjects/topics he was still not ready to move up a level on? I can sympathize fully with him if he has finished work that others are still working on - that would be incredibly boring. The teacher should have strategies to cope with children like him - or is he the only one? You say that he is in Year 1 in a split class - surely he could be doing some subjects with the year 2 pupils? Perhaps a planned meeting with the teacher where you can talk this through without being rushed in the morning? Is there anything else that he could be doing as well as at school? Are there any clubs? Might make him feel as if there more to school than just the classroom. Good luck! You sound as if you are doing all the right, supportive things for him.

Is there anything else that it could be, 'boring' is an easy thing to say instead of addressing a worry or concern. If the teacher says he hasn't reached particular a level, perhaps he's having a problem understanding a concept that would allow him to progress and needs help to move forward? Or maybe a social issue?
Can you ask talk to him and the teacher about any sticking points? If he's struggling to understand something but not getting any further assistance, especially if it's the first time he's come up against a 'roadblock' like this, then he may be using 'bored' or disruptive behaviour to deflect attention away from his struggle, rather than asking for help.

Thanks both well we have had a bit of a break through today. they have started to test him and see how far ahead he is. apparently he needs to be able to read 45 high frequency words in year 1 on testing today he has managed to be able to read 189 so quite a bit above where he should be.

They are going to test his maths on Monday however I have found out that for the next 8 weeks he is being taught by a trainee teacher so that might be part of the problem aswell.
