[QUOTE="Shari, post: 465040, member: 1848"] Physics and algebra are pretty easy thus far. No new concepts, and she struggles with the new concepts, but that is much better for her than the languages. I agree - "performing at her level" is a crock. But that's their stand. They stood there and said she had all the "red flags" for ADHD, and if a doctor diagnosis'ed in, in conjunction with their test results, they could have given her an IEP. But, that's water under the bridge... Verbal is much better than written. MUCH. Still not sure I'd call it advanced, but there's kids in Wee's class who write more complex structures than she can. And most of the graded assignments that end up killing her are research or written tests, especially ones with long-answer... IE reading and writing. And she's learning the hard way that "just don't do it", like she did last year, isn't an option. Those middle school teachers did her NO FAVORS by allowing that to go on. So now she's really struggling, and her coping skills don't work any more... [/QUOTE]
