Soon, I will follow my husband. This means, my son, having to switch schools. During this time, my son
school in special schools. And, later on where we live, there is no special school for my son. My son's teacher, suggested that my son, repeat in class 3, so my son can adjust, in public schools. I am very worried, my son can not, adapt itself, in public schools. What should I do?

If you already consulted it with the teacher, then maybe repeating is the best act for now. Just remember to pay attention and teach your son at home, and ask the teacher in the new school to pay attention too.
If you could, try to find out why your son rather slow in learning and how treat it.
Wish you the best.

Well first of all you have to follow your husband. What do you mean that he is in a special school, is this a school for only boys or what. If you have to switch schools he will learn to adapt. I no a lot of people that had to moc=ve around a lot and there children had to go to different schools and they got along just fine. How old is your son?

It sounds to me that repeating a class won ld be a good idea for your son. He will be in unfamiliar surroundings, but the course material will be familiar to him. That will give hI'm more time to adjust to the public school and their way of doing things.

Hi indah! I'm sure there will always be a way so that everything will turn out well. Everything happens for a reason. We have to learn to adapt to new situations as well. I'm sure your son can do it. What is important is for your family to be staying together.

I think you should just follow the advice of the teacher and let him repeat class 3. It's difficult to change schools, I know, but there are times when you don't really have a choice. Don't worry just keep you head up and give you son more tutorials and the confidence he needs in order to cope.
When are you following your husband?
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Hi indahfth, First of all, I understand that you must follow your husband, but I also know that you want to do what's best for your son. You should discuss it with your husband and if possible, get a tutor for your son. Worry doesn't help but only upsets you, and your husband and son needs you, so just do everything you can, and accept that everything will work out as it should. Blessings.

You should follow your husband. I hope you don't find that your son really needs the special school. Repeated his class would certainly be a good option. I think covering the same material would be good for him. If your son has problems is there any way you could go back to the special school? I hope it works out okay for him.

Hello indah..if it there's no other way how your son adapt his new learning curriculum, I think you better get tutor to help your child just for the mean time he would on his adjusting period...
Nice day ahead..

You may find a private school soon and transfer your son after.
Right now all you need to do is follow your husband and try to look for any private school soon as you arrived there.
Maybe you will get to find a private school from other city or nearby town- just try to check the place first.
And if ever you won't get a near private school, you have another option but to get him a private tutor.

Just be the loving and understanding mom for your son. Try to teach him his lessons at home if he is having a hard time rather than finding a tutor. If you have work this will be a problem, but at least do find time to be a teacher to your son. I always believe, mother's are always the best teachers.

Isn't there any special schools he can attend even if it means having to travel a little further? If there is one available, you ought to let him continue his studies there. It's not easy for your son to adapt to public school because it's a sudden change for him. Pace of learning is much faster, along with interaction between classmates is so much different as well. If you son were to repeat in class 3, how confident are you he can go on to class 4, and not be affected by the way his classmates are treating him.

Hi Indah, I think you should give him a try first, maybe he can adjust regular class in public school with special help. I'm sure he can make you proud as well. Just think positive and positive thing will happen .

I think you can seek the help of a teacher. So that he can make you teach your child easily without getting him to the school .
