[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 525153"] He doesn't want to read PERIOD. It really IS hard for him. He said 2 years ago (he had psychiatrist excuse for last year's) the person proctoring his small group (accommodation) actually read it for them. I don't know if he's confusing the tests (math CAN be read to them) or if the proctor broke "the rules" by doing it. I told him if they did, it was against the rules and he should have told me back then. He didn't know they weren't supposed to. I'm to the point where I'm tempted to tell him to just guess and not bother. This will be the last year he can do that without a penalty to HIM. Starting next year, it's the GRAD tests they have to pass to graduate. He's already talking about wanting to quit when he turns 16. I informed him the law here has changed to 18. THAT did not make him happy because he's supposed to graduate when he's 17 which is my fault for having him "start too early"....everyone else will be 18 and they can quit before they graduate if they want to. I told him he could always go an extra year. He did NOT like that idea either. I really feel sorry for him. It's times like this that I wish he had a PRN for his anxiety. [/QUOTE]
