This morning, difficult child was stressing about choir and a concert coming up. She said that in one of the songs, they go in to smaller groups, but no one would let her in their group so she just stands in the back by herself. I sent the choir teacher an email that she had a problem with some of the girls, and I was sure the feelings were probably mutual, and that I knew she could be somewhat of a drama addict herself. Then after the class the school nurse called and difficult child was sick with no fever but throwing up. So I brought her home. In the meantime I got his email, and he said that first, she asked if she could be late to class to walk a friend to her class first. He said no. Then she pretty much spent the rest of the time lying on the floor, under a table. I don't know if he asked her why... or not. Anyway, at the beginning of the next class, she was sick.
He made it pretty clear that her behavior is probably the cause of her not getting along with rest of the girls in the class.
I did email him back and let him know about the neurospych testing coming up after school. And that I was hoping to gain some insight on how to best help difficult child in school. I tried to explain the possibility of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and /or bipolar, which runs on the moms side of the family. I also told him how the school has been unwilling to help us because they feel she is capable based on her IQ, but I think there are some defiencies in executive functions. I have been trying to get help since about 4th grade... and she is now in 9th. And getting f's and Ds in the majority of the classes.
Just so frustrated. But we have two more weeks of school so trying to tough it out. KSM
