I'm sure some of the problem is the transition from Montessori, but this behavior is extreme, much more than warranted by the requirements of the school, which is not a high pressure place.
It seems like such a small thing to just get him to write his tests, for now, since it's clear he can do it with little trouble. . . . . . yet it's like a brick wall. A cry for attention, defiance, spite, who knows.
I got through to the Montessori school on Friday and the receptionist mirrored my own feelings, saying, "Oh that's awful, and he was such a good student here, a wonderful boy, one of my favorites." Monday I'll have a talk with one of his full time teachers, and see if he has any suggestions.
