[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 345657, member: 1161"] Thanks for the suggestion. The resource teacher was going to talk to the English teacher, see if there were anything they could do to modify it for difficult child. They've been very good with him in the past, trying to accomodate him with changes just so he could get an assignment handed in they could mark. Don't know if anything will change, but it can be about ANY memory, so hopefully we can find some things he'll agree to write about. Part of the problem with English assignments is that they're so abstract, which is hard for difficult child to "get" sometimes. Not to mention many of them the teacher is looking for "feelings" to come out in the writing, and difficult child does NOT do feelings. Resource teacher and I talked about getting him to write something about his memories that are more "fact" based, and just hand it in. Better a lower mark and get through the class than no mark at all. It's probably one reason his mark in this class is not that high (and he was only hoping for a low to mid B, not aiming for the stars here LOL). The teacher is probably looking for something in the writing that difficult child is not able to give. [/QUOTE]
