[QUOTE="klmno, post: 305112, member: 3699"] These sound like very in-tune teachers! My son had very similar struggles in school- different classes but similar issues. He has executive functioning struggles but it apparently spread into other things. One of his teachers pointed out that this was leading difficult child to be a perfectioniist. A few of us found that unbelievable at first but she said these were the clues- difficult child had extreme sensitivity over other kids laughing at him or criticizing his work so if he didn't think he could do great on it, he wouldn't do it at all or would not turn it in if it had been done. He also would make 100% on some things and 0 on others but the 0's were because he didn't do it or made it obvious that he didn't try (answering questions on paper without reading the question so the answers made no sense- in a class where he made 100's other times.) Now being a boy that age, he would act like he didn't care rather than admit how much he did care. IOW, we found that [I]sometimes[/I] at school, the ODD behavior was a cover for anxiety/stress and having no clue how to deal with it. I just thought I'd throw that out since I see a lot of similarities here. All kids are sensitve about peer issues at this age but some of our difficult child's get a lot more sensitive about peer acceptance then we realize sometimes. Now, we are working witth my son to help him see that his work doesn't have to be perfect, it's better to do the best a person can and then not worry about it. This might not pertain to your son at all- I don't know. The meeting sounds very productive! [/QUOTE]
