[QUOTE="Andy, post: 203047, member: 5096"] Thank you! Pookey - I also love math. It was always my favorite subject. I think that is why this is so frustrating for me. He is in his refusing to accept help from anyone mode. I want so much to help when he gets to algebra but if this keeps up I will not be able to. (actually, I will probably ask for the book to do the problems myself) Janet - I will secretly keep that in mind. One of these days if you hear someone near one, it may just be me bringing a difficult child for a visit. LOL Terry - I can't figure out if he is making it more difficult. He just doesn't want to spend the time and work the process that long math calls for. He doesn't want to show his work - he will get partial credit if the teacher can find where the error was. Jennifer - I think I did find the cream of choice in my solo shopping trip. However as I was loading groceries into the van I thought, "Now why did I just do this? I should have gone shopping at other places first. Can't continue to enjoy my freedom with perishables in the vehicle." Wiped Out, KTmom, and Daisy - Thanks for the support. The evening went much better after my escape to the grocery store. We got to school this morning to find he had left 1/2 of the work at home. I came home before going to school at lunch time to take it in. Tonight we had to deal with Science. The teacher wants him to include complete sentences and more information in his answers. He doesn't understand how she is giving him a 2nd chance. He doesn't want a 2nd chance because that means he has to redo something. Not a fun trip to Fargo. I talked to his tutor about what we needed him to do. By the time I picked him up from tutoring, he had his science rewritten in the format he is suppose to. He adores his tutor so I asked the tutor to encourage him to do it the way the teacher asked. I let him attend a play group at church tonight. There was only one other kid there. The leader said the two got along great until toward the end. difficult child doesn't always have patience for this girl so maybe the one to one play time was good for both of them? [/QUOTE]
