I agree there is some value in this line of thinking...in certain situations and with certain children. Perhaps at a certain age. Is grade six that age? I don't know. I do know that grade one was NOT that age and I deeply regret not pulling my son out of an absolutely horrible first grade situation with a mean teacher who scared the bejesus out of him and caused him to hate school halfway into second grade when he finally, blessed with a wonderful teacher and with LOTS of support from me, healed.
