[QUOTE="buddy, post: 467822, member: 12886"] This is interesting to me. I have (had?) a friend whose difficult child behaviorially is like mine (rages, aggression) but is high IQ. Mom is not really good at negotiations and puts people off. I had a huge soft spot for both and even did PCA work for her at the end of last school year (spent more in gas than I made). this girl has had to be in "homeschool" by force because school kept filing educational neglect on the mom because of issues getting super anxious kid to school. Lots of issues at school mom was scared of like one EA filed criminal charges against difficult child for biting her (ea did not follow behavior plan in my opinion)....anyway POINT IS.....with all this in and out of school, her mom always has explained things to her, they go on mini trips, they go to library all the time, lots of talking and difficult child has an ipad thru her family grant from county. School sp. ed. testing said this 7th grader was at a 4th/5th grade level at best. Once switched to homeschool officially this last time she had to do the district testing. The woman who did it used appropriate accomodations and she tested between 8th and 12th grade on each area. You can't stop a kid who loves to learn from learning. Schools can be great but they dont match all learning styles, and I think this kid was accidently "unschooled" and it worked for her. so much for educational neglect, haha! I love the STAR's post, you may have a delay in your dream but now is just not the time. It is ok to do what you feel is best for the whole famiiy structure for now. Amazing what you are doing! Talk to yourself as if you were giving one of us advice on this board. Hang in there.... [/QUOTE]
