[QUOTE="Steely, post: 172583, member: 3301"] Gosh...........I totally understand. Because difficult child has NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) his verbal IQ is really high. He can talk or write his way out of a paper bag. But then he gets to performance stuff like math, and he hoovers to high heaven. Unfortunately the society and system we have in place values intelligence, as performance, and requires that kids "graduate" or "pass" based not on their specific assets but on their written test skills. It makes me sad. I am so worried about how and where my difficult child will end up because of this........as I know you are about thank you. These kids are so inherently smart, and yet there does not seem to be a channel or outlet to capitalize on their strengths. [/QUOTE]
