Thanks for your response Katheryn,

BTW my son started year one in England but when we moved back to the states, he was way behind in reading/writing skills and we opted to have him begin Kindergarten here.

He had very good teachers there in England for Nursery and Year 1. The major problem there was that he was bullied often and even had to have stitches on his finger which was jammed into the door lock when a student decided to slam his finger in the door.
