Hey muffy,
Did you ever figure out what was going on with your son?
Our older son did that in 1st/2nd grade. In first grade his teacher was an old croan who was not good with boys. Our son has ADD and CAPD, and was having attentional problems, but not a behavior issue, as you'd think from the way she talked. I went and observed a couple of times, and she had no control, and several students who could have used some help. Anyway, we tried OT, and that didn't work.
In 2nd grade his teacher very gently suggested an ADD eval, and he has it, so we finally got him on ADD meds, and it's made all the difference in the world for him. Good grade, good attention, likes school. He's still senstive and more of a student than he is athletic, but he's much happier.
