[QUOTE="jenroack, post: 268933, member: 7327"] I'm not completely sure what an IEP is, but I think it has something to do with the school, right? It think my cousins had one. If it is, then no she isn't. The school did have a meeting with us to tell us that they wanted to retain her and why. After thinking about it, I decided that I was against the idea because it will do more harm than good. Her grades are solid C's (I know she is capable of better). I've never seen class work more juvenile for a grade level. They're learning how to tell time (they started that in kindergarten). She's very bright and get's bored very easily. I honestly think that her actual school work doesn't challenge her so she just doesn't care. The teacher actually called me to complain that my difficult child was reading books that were, in the teachers opinion, to advanced. She can read them, enjoys them and actually understands what she is reading. Isn't it a good thing that she can read that well? We have another meeting in a couple of weeks to find out if they will retain her. If they do, I might switch to home schooling her. As far as family psychiatric problems, they run on both sides. On my side there is depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, ADD and ADHD. On his side there is depression and anxiety. [/QUOTE]
