[QUOTE="busywend, post: 39282, member: 391"] Thank you all for your responses. Sorry it took me so long to get back here. I will try to hit all the answers to your questions. My difficult child is so sporadic with school work. She could get a 100% on a test one week and a 30% on a test in the same subject the next week. I think it depends on her mood. This makes it tough to know what to put in an IEP. We basically have very generic 'help' listed to allow for many options - I really do not have too many problems with the school staff. They have not kept me as informed as I would like, but that could be the age of difficult child and them trying to allow independence - as I am sure she is encouraging that. Her grades are: Geometry 66 (up from a 52) Art 60 (down from 80) Gym 60 (down from 64) Science 58 (down from 69) History 34 (down from 65) English 89 (up from 71) Spanish 23 (down from 45) Last year Spanish was her best class in the high 80s range. English has been a strange thing. On her 5 week report she had a 100% in English. She called me at work to tell me about her grades on her report and oral presentation (high 90s). It has been great to see her go through this English marking period and be proud of not only the grades, but the work itself. Strange, but good. I think dex and I need to sit down with difficult child and just see what it is we can do to help her. If she says nothing (which she will) then she is once again on her own. I KNOW in my heart punishing this kid will just be a negative outcome. [/QUOTE]
