[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 325597, member: 3419"] [I]. But it could mean needing to find a different way of trying to get through to him, working within his current limitations in order to move him beyond these limits."[/I] [I]If she can't even 'get' this much, then public school can't be much worse, surely? But I would talk to them first, make sure you can find it better and not be out of the frying pan into the fire.[/I] Oh, Marg, we have done this and done this. I had handouts and the teachers acted like they were all excited. I suspect they were excited about the "idea" of the concept and the challenge, but on a day-to-day basis, it is wearing them down, and he is just a pain in the **** that they have to get past. GCVmom, I agree. It was working as well as it could, given the circumstances. This a.m., difficult child was contrite and sweet and he apologized. Of course, it was a qualified apology, because his behavior is always someone else's fault. He told me that the teacher said that the rust answer was the correct answer (arg!) and that she marked him off 2 points ea on the last two questions because she couldn't read his handwriting. Aaaarrrggghhh! I don't know which one of them I'm more upset with. [/QUOTE]
