Sometimes it is difficult to rush in with all guns blazing and unless something is very apparent and severe, it may be around 2nd class, when there are more demands on children (handwriting, increased homework load etc) that a school may be directing a parent for an assessment. Educational psychologists are also very reluctant to make diagnoses until a child is near the end of 1st class.

Some children are often ´borderline´ cases, where a school may want to give the child the opportunity to improve. To say that the teachers in the school, (which you have named) ´weren´t so concerned´ does not seem entirely fair when we have not heard the story from the point of view of the school. The school, on the other hand, is not in a position to come on a forum like this to defend itself or to discuss various supports that were put in place in the case of individual children. Sadly, some parents can take potshots at schools, knowing that the schools are not at liberty to discuss individual cases and most definitely not on a public forum like this. I hope your son does well in his new school.
