[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387545, member: 1233"] i am SO SORRY. There is NO WAY that your daughter is stupid, I just wish she could see it. It is easy to see why she thinks she is stupid. To put in all that hard work studying and still not be able to remember the info on tests and things would make any of us start to think we were stupid. I HATE IT when I hear about schools who pull this kind of koi. It may be that the people at the bigger school would have given ehr the supports back if she started to need them, but given this behavior by the admin of the other school I rather doubt it. SO many schools are willing to do anything they can to cut services because services cost $$, or so they argue. I fail to see how allowing a child to use notes when she takes tests would cost the school ANYTHING, but that is the argument of most schools. Are there non-school related sports teams she can play in? YMCA sports, maybe even coaching younger kids in a sport she really loves? That would help build up her self esteem during this time when she is struggling so much. in my opinion you need to pay as much attention to her view of herself as you do to her academics. I hope she has a therapist she trusts and will work with. there is NO WAY that the school is doing right by her. This is a good warning for all of us. Often when our kids are doing well with supports the schools want to remove the supports and expect the child to still do well. It rarely works that way because it makes no sense to expect that. Keep insisting that they help your daughter. I am sorry about your son's problems. I hope that he does not have prader willi or anything else. Could it be that his thyroid function is off? Be sure to also check with a good pediatric endocrinologist as much of weight issues can be endocrine related. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) Don't forget to take care of Mom and Dad. [/QUOTE]
