[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 137726, member: 1991"] Kjs, I'm not surprised, from what you've told us of him. He is SO much like my boys, especially difficult child 3. School grades are based on continual assessment which is covered by behaviour in class, performance in class, homework, assignments and finally (if they give them) exams. My boys always did much better in exams than in assessments. Think about exam conditions - it's quiet, there is very little auditory or visual distraction. All the work is in front of him on the table. All he has to do is write the answers, and there are no teachers interrupting him or making him stop when THEY think time is up (because the class has spent half an hour on that topic; time to change tasks). Just hug him, tell him how proud you are of him and DON'T remind him that his class marks are always lower. I don't blame you for bragging - I think these marks reflect his true abilities, which are being hampered by a combination of his difficulties, and the way school generally works (NOT in his favour in so many ways).
