[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 702303, member: 2196"] Thank you for asking about my kids. I haven't discussed them in awhile. My son is doing great physically after the surgery, but unfortunately not so good in school. He is currently getting 3 F's. Last year he begged me and his teacher to drop his study skills class, since he hated it. He promised he would do the work on his own. We had an IEP and we agreed to drop that class this year and see how he does. That plan didn't work out so great. He is getting numerous zeros in most of his classes, even thought the teachers have been very accommodating in modifying assignments and giving him extra time. We had another IEP a couple of weeks ago, and we put him right back in study skills class. He had no choice. We gave him his chance. Now we will see if his teacher and case carrier can get him caught up on all those missing assignments. As for my daughter, well, what can I say. She is still struggling. She is attending adult ed to try and earn her diploma, and she can't even make it to school one day a week, which is all they require. She is basically doing the bare minimum so she doesn't get kicked out of the program. One thing I do give her credit for is she is attending her career workshops regularly. They are specifically designed to help the disabled find part time jobs. She is almost done with the program, and ready to be placed somewhere. At least she is following through with that, and she is showing some sort of motivation. I am still relying heavily on prayer for both my kids. I'm sure it's not easy having me as a mom. [/QUOTE]
