[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 556151"] My difficult child 1 was like that until his learning difficulties were identified. I thought he was just being lazy and not wanting to go. Turns out he has some pretty major things going on. His brain doesn't process black letters on white paper. His brain doesn't register when his pencil is on the paper. He is a phonetic reader so mispronounces MANY words which makes him not understand what they are. In 7th grade textbooks, teacher's directions, reading, etc. became much more "higher order", using more complex wording, relying more on context clues and inferring, etc. THAT was WAY over his head and he got "lost". He could answer questions verbally that the teacher asked verbally. Reading and writing were another story. By the way, these issues were discovered by OUTSIDE evaluations. The school's evaluations for SpEd services said there were no issues except behavioral. I don't know what to say. Have you asked him WHY he hates it so much? Have you sat down with him and discussed HIS concerns? I, personally, would say he's starting to struggle with the work. He hates going because he KNOWS there's going to be homework to bring home. While he's in school, he's engaged. Raising his hand means he participates in VERBAL discussions. You need to find out WHY he hates school without any judgement or any doubt that he's telling you. One way or another, you need to figure out why. His behavior is telling you something is up. [/QUOTE]
