[QUOTE="Fran, post: 46649, member: 3"] There is no way some one can grasp the thinking process of a kid like ours. It's mostly not willful. I consider it undisciplined thinking. Some learn to structure their thinking in a functional way(my husband) and some like my difficult child are sort of in the early years yet. The plus side for your family is that difficult child gets peer pressure and may do well enough to avoid being different than the other kids. He doesn't want to be left behind. My difficult child didn't only not care if he was left behind, he didn't even realize he was left behind or different. LOL. The parts that you pointed out that show his improvements are probably more important than the actual grades.(although for practical purposes the grades are important) You are growing basic function and how to learn more than trying to fit an academic standard. At the end, what he needs is learning to learn. If he never knows calculus the world won't end. [/QUOTE]
