[QUOTE="Shari, post: 465009, member: 1848"] We do know that she's ADHD (untreated, by the way), and she has pretty substantial memory problems, according to school testing. Reading is very hard for her. I had her tested in 5th grade or so, and she tested 3 grade levels behind. I think she had made up 1-1.5 by the school's testing last year. Still. We're talking about a kid in high school reading at a 6th grade level. Yeah... Exactly WHAT the reading issue is, though, we do not know. Never could get it taken any farther. Her IQ is not incredibly high, either, so that will work against us in getting help from school. But, I very much believe she will do what she can do. She is in an intro to physics and algebra class and she's carrying good grades in there. She understands the work right now. She has no missing assignments in those classes. I really think she wants to do well, and does so where she can. She doesn't know what to do when she's in over her head. When she had to do her work to earn video game time, and how much depended on grades, she'd ask questions and do the work. She's older now. These things are habits now (like you say). But I still think she wants to do well enough that she could do much better than what we have right now. [/QUOTE]
