My son has always been the child that has given us the most trouble. He is a real handful and a lot of schools struggle to deal with his behaviour. He's actually a really smart kid if you can engage him at school, but once he gets bored, he tends to muck up. Luckily, we've just found him a great independent school with lots of extension programs and challenging clubs for him to meet new kids. The teachers are just amazing. This blog is all about choosing a school for your kid if they are really smart (and a bit headstrong!).
