[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 203705, member: 3444"] husband, difficult child 2 and I met with his Lang. Arts teacher this morning to review his progress report (which I got last week and had several D's and F's) and to make sure he's getting the supports he needs. Looks like things are working like they should -- it's just stuff from the beginning of the year that threw his grades off. They've actually improved since the progress report was published, so it leads me to think that the medication titration we've been working on the past few months is slowly working. The teacher said he is a VERY bright kid who clearly "gets" all the stuff being thrown at him, even the more abstract concepts. What really holds him back is his organizational skills. I reminded the teacher that a lot of that comes from his illness and so hopefully, as we continue to work on getting the medications right, everything will start to fall into place. In the mean time, the teacher is allowing him to bring things home to complete that aren't finished in class, and won't penalize him for missing things due to the social skills class he gets pulled out for twice a week. Some days the micromanagement he needs is just so draining on me. Thus my little rant. Today is better :) Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
