[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 406080, member: 6705"] Onyxx is too darned smart for her own good. She was an A-B student who darn near failed because of days out of school when she lived with BM. Now, the SD she was in? Was "academic emergency" at that time. I saw some of her homework and wondered what they were thinking - because addition and subtraction was being taught in 5th grade. Times tables at the end of 6th. Her grades tanked for the 2nd half of 6th grade (and now we know why). The kids came to live with us for her 7th grade year - horrible grades. (our SD has been "excellent" for years.) Then she went into PHP. Finished out the year with all As. Next year - first half, bad grades, second half in PHP, As. 9th grade, alt school, ALL As (and I saw some of this work - it was about the same as Jett's - what, do they think just because they have issues that they're stupid too?) Onyxx's grades were OK the first quarter and AWFUL this semester. She's in regular HS now. She complains that the work is "hard" and "boring". (For me, school was always boring - I loved it when it was hard because it was a challenge.) My point here being - how did he do in regular school? And remember - they dumb it down to the least common denominator. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
