[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 388752, member: 1550"] OK. The weirdness doesn't end. Apparently, the WH teacher gave Daughter the wrong grade and she actually passed with a "C." He is going to have to change the dog gone grade on the internet! Honestly, he expects SO MUCH from the kids, but can't even put the right grades up. My daughter may have learning disabilities, but she has a lot of emotional intelligence. When I asked her about the testing, she said, "Mom, I pretended it was harder than it was when it got to the harder questions. And I made sure I didn't pay good attention because they always think I can pay attention because I stare at them." She's no dummy. I guess I should have said, "No, try as hard as you can" but if she does and if she stares at the tester and pretends s he can understand what she is saying (which is what she does in school) they will NOT believe she has ADHD. She actually has ADD inattentive kind. That looks like NO ADD at all. I am so confused. I can't believe it's come to this. My teenage daughter is so desperate to get help so that she can actually have half a chance that she is putting on a sort-of act (sigh). Today, when we were talking she said, "The reading part won't be fake at all. I have so much trouble with reading." But Daughter struggles in every academic subject due to her poor reading skills, her inattention and her inability to retain info. She doesn't HAVE a GOOD subject. She struggles for average. What she is good at...sports, socializing, common sense...they don't grade that in school. Academics is hard for her all the way around...and I'm soooooooo tired of worrying about school that I just want to go somewhere and scream until it's over. I can only imagine other warrior moms wanting to scream with me. Come join me...it may be therapeutic :) [/QUOTE]
