[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 205027, member: 3444"] Rabbit, up until now, he has not qualified for an IEP. This may just bring him one step closer to qualifying, though. Witz, I have to look at the exact wording, but if you fail a certain number of classes, you are not promoted to highschool. They will either retain you or have you take summer school to catch up/make up the work. I shared that little bomb with him tonight, and ever the optimist, he shrugs it off and says he doesn't think summer school would be too bad -- until I explain that he would miss the family vacation. ;) Smallworld, I agree about the anxiety affecting his processing speed and performance. And I also think letting him trip and fall now would likely get more attention from the school than my just trying to TELL them he needs more help. Because until now, they clearly don't get it. Katya, I think I'll be scheduling a meeting for this week or next. I know it's too late to rescue him, but at least we can maybe sort things out so next quarter is not a repeat of this mess. I know what you mean about the difficult child-version and the teacher's version. Often they are very different, especially if it's filtered through difficult child's perception of the world. KTM, I don't think failing one or two classes will hold him back, but the threshold isn't much higher I think. I let him know that tonight. I'm just so tired of micromanaging everyone's life around here. It just shouldn't be this hard. Oh, and P.S. -- I almost scheduled a neuropsychologist evaluation for him last summer, and now I'm wishing I had. I think I'll go ahead and call the office tomorrow just to get it going so I have some kind of ammo to throw at the school. [/QUOTE]
