[QUOTE="ksm, post: 526160, member: 12511"] I had the school have her tested this year and she is in the top 13% IQ in school... But the bottom 13% for processing speed. They seem to think she is capable... well she is, based on her intelligence, but not based on her ability to organize and actually finish the work. I have backed off. I don't even tell her to do the homework. I do ask if she has homework and when does she plan to work on it. Hoping she will prioritize her free time on her own. But it doesn't happen. It sounds like in 7th and 8th grade, they don't hold them back and make them repeat a class. But once she gets to high school, the whole ball game changes, and if she doesn't have enough credits she won't graduate. I am hoping that since she was one of two girls in 8th grade to be on the schools girl choir she will have an incentive to keep up... as she can't compete or perform in concerts IF she isn't passing. Just like sports. The school seems to think since she isn't a behavioral problem at school, that things are fine. KSM [/QUOTE]
