[QUOTE="jenroack, post: 269024, member: 7327"] I will send a letter and ask about an IEP at our meeting in May. The meeting in March was when retention was brought up. The meeting was with a counselor, her teacher, the principal and the school therapist. They said that my difficult child wasn't completing her work on time, that she threw fits if she didn't get her way and that she preferred to play with the younger kids. Because she wasn't completing her work on time, they kept giving her longer and longer to finish her work. She never had a deadline like the other kids did. Since I asked the teacher to make her turn in her work on time, even if it wasn't done, she has completed much more. She had only one assignment that she didn't complete and it was sent home and I made her finish it and turn it in even though she got no credit. Since then everything has been finished. I think the problem was that they were to lenient. She throws fits at home, and I agree that it is unacceptable, but she does it at home as well. As for playing with younger kids, her brothers are younger, my friends all have kids that are younger than her and she is the oldest kid in class. The school only goes up to the second grade. How is she supposed to play with older kids when there aren't any? The school and the teachers have gone above and beyond for my difficult child and my family. I have never seen a school care so much about the welfare of one of their students. I understand that we are truly blessed to live within such an extraordinary district. I wish that this was something that we could agree on. I also asked them if they thought that summer school may help. I'm willing to find the money to pay for it if it means she will continue on to the third grade. She'll be almost 19 when she graduates as it is. If they retain her, she'll be pushing 20. I'm terrified that if she gets bored enough she'll drop out. [/QUOTE]
