[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 381628, member: 1991"] That really sounds very familiar. It's an anxiety issue by the sound of it, plus perfectionism plus possibly not being able to remember as she should. With ADD, the memory often doesn't get laid down properly. Short-term memory slides them through, but long-term is faulty and they need long-term memory to be really sharp in order to continue to learn academically. On things they really focus tightly on (such as a pet subject) they will seem word perfect, but any subject that is complex or challenging, they tend to not pay as much attention to begin with, or it requires more solid concentration than they can handle. I just posted at length on Blue Nude's threads about some issues which could be similar. Have a read of them and see if anything rings a bell for you. It saves me repeating myself here! I would strongly urge you to not use real names in your posts. I hope you have already made substitutions. It is too easy to Google a name and find out what is being said about you or about someone you are interested in. Anonymity works best here because sometimes, we need to vent in the knowledge that the kid or the teacher (or the doctor) we are venting about, won't find their name in our post and know how angry we are with them!
