[QUOTE="Shari, post: 465017, member: 1848"] Yup. Very possible. Her memory was very poor when tested, and in just day-to-day interactions with her, its easily still a problem for her. She doesn't have a truly low IQ. Not that should impede her skills, anyway. BUT, her IQ was measured low-normal by the school (with my experience with the school since then? I would queston their method of testing itself - they did, after all, entirely miss Wee's dyslexia for [I]how many years???) [/I]And the school says say, low-normal IQ = low-normal grades - she is performing to her ability... I don't agree, but that's their position. By no means is that really an impairing factor in her ability to gain the knowledge, though she may need extra help learning it or to learn it in another way. And quite frankly, I loved this teacher's response. It wasn't to jump in and punish, it was to jump in and help, and what can I do to present this so she'll get it. That's pretty exciting, in my book. [/QUOTE]
