[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 659219, member: 11791"] How about... - immaturity - kids with developmental differences, even as mild as ADHD, are known to mature later - what did he really learn at school? I'm NOT talking about passing classes. School taught MY kid many things, like you can't trust adults, it doesn't matter how you get the answer as long as it is right, if you push back hard enough then you won't have to do it, and so on. Teachers do not believe they are "teaching" this stuff, but in so many ways, they do. Especially kids who don't fit nice neat little diagnostic boxes (if you're a Down's Syndrome kid, they know what to do with you). You were raising him one way. Real life was contradicting everything you were trying to teach. You end up with a confused kid who isn't motivated because putting in effort hasn't really worked (at least not consistently) before. Not saying your kid is exactly like mine but... It took a LONG time to get some of this through the kid's Dad's head. [/QUOTE]
