[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 154475, member: 3419"] Thank you. I wouldn't mind if he asked for help, but he's so argumentative and insistent upon his always being right that sometimes I can't even be in the same room with-him. So I let him reap the natural consquences. I don't think they have IEPs in private schools ... at least, not this one. It's an accelerated, college prep school, which is clearly not the right place for him. We were going to switch him over in 2 yrs but I'm already thinking that next yr will be h*ll. However, the emphasis is on leadership next yr, since the 5th graders are the "leaders" of the elementary school, and I'm thinking that the social aspects will make up for the struggle with-academics. Or not. I'm going to sit down with-difficult child and ask him to explain to me, in his own words, what he thinks an introductory paragraph is, and the body of the work. (She didn't say anything about a concluding paragraph but I may as well ask him that, too.) He's never been good at writing like this. Although they have the kids do journaling and he can write up a storm when he's in the mood. [/QUOTE]
