Our experience is quite a bit different than what I've read in
response to the initial question.  Our son  (almost 7 years) is
analphylactic to milk. He has a remarkable ability to concentrate for
very long periods of time, is very bright, focused, and perceptive to
his surroundings.  He's a very dreamy child (rich imagination) and
we've found a school that's compatible with his being and our values
(its a Waldorf/Rudloph Steiner school).
