6 year old son socially and verbally lagging

[Jon1977]

Hello. My six year old son is lagging somewhat in his verbal skills, and we are having him do kindergarten again. We moved during his first year of kindergarten and he was out for a month, we home schooled in between. We moved from a state with easier curriculum and lower standards, to a state and county that has literally the highest standards public education offers. He was completely lost and we tried to catch him up. The weird thing is, the school gave us a big packet of materials and our son actually learned most of the words, shapes, numbers, etc. He did all the flip cwrds with me and I thought he would be fine.

The problem was, he would not do it for his teachers. They sent home his results and he failed everything. All the stuff he missed, he did with me at home with almost no problem! The teacher said that he was just immature and that he needed a full year. The kids in the class generally didnt play with him, he told me that he played alone on the playground and no kids liked him, it hurt me for him.

I know he is smart, he uses my phones for games at times and he flies through apps and games. He hates writing sentences, but he draws pictures like an advanced 10 year old.

Can anyone relate, tell me if these are signs of ADHD, etc?

    Do you know if he will have the same teacher again?

and the teacher was not that helpful. She said they would work with him, but he tells us they just asked what he knew, they never helped him catch up.

I am definitely interested, thanks so much!

    I really don't think so.  I will give you some links with more info on ADHD.  But, my experience says that a kid with ADHD would not be able to do it with you either.   I think this is more a case of him entering the class late and the kids all had friends by then (I taught/principled elementary school for over 17 years).   Did you try any play dates with kids from his class?  Did you ever go and observe what was going on?  And actually, a good kindergarten teacher would have gone out of their way to make the new guy feel accepted.  Will he have the same teacher next year?

    If you have any questions please ask.    And there are some things that you can do to make this year a smoother year for him - if you are interested.
