[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 137727"] That has been our challenge since day one. More amazing to me is that difficult child scored this high, he IS in one honors class, but he scored this high for 8th grade, and he skipped a grade. They did not have gifted or even advanced classes in elementary school. it was First grade when we were told how Awful he was. Straight A's but an "awful" kid. Class clown, distracting others. Our very first conference which we were so anxious to go to consisted of 45 minutes of difficult child getting blasted. Luckily the school counselor was IN that conference. After we left she said, "I think difficult child is very bright, we would like to test him". And he was then promoted a grade. Still as put earlier he "floated" through everything. The most difficult thing is the teachers always want things done ONE way. We were told many times he processes information different. NOT wrong, just different. Although he could Ace the tests, and participate in class..he rarely did homework. Resulting in very poor organizational skills in middle school. And, in middle school you cannot pass a class if you do not do your daily work. He IS a class clown, often caused conflict with teachers. Then he felt he was being singled out, then the anger started.... He is excited about the new High School next year. But I remember him being excited about Middle school too. He will be in more honors classes next year. He is also at a very high tech High School. Very small too. I have mixed feelings about that. He is happy and doing well right now. He feels he is being picked on by one teacher, but he says it is ok because she is pregnant and she is yelling one minute and crying the next. LoL. (unusual that a 13 year old realizes this) [/QUOTE]
