He sounds a lot like my oldest daughter. <BR/><BR/>Could you e-mail me?

If your child doesn't fit then it's your problem not theirs. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately it leaves we parents in the position of having to advocate for our children. I heard time and time again how they were, "professionals and you are just a mom." Well, hell of course I'm just a mom but I can tell you more about my kid than any book or guide. <BR/><BR/>Has he had a PPT recently? If not then tell them you want one done asap. If he has then meet with the teaching staff to make sure that the action plan is being followed.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. My problem child who couldn't read in first grade and was recommended to stay back 2 years (no friggin way that was going to happen in my lifetime!)is now 19, in college with straight A's studying engineering.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541095469969455692noreply@blogger.com
