[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 89703, member: 3893"] LOL - Marg, I don't know where you get the energy! I sit with my son too and walk him through it and interpret the confusing language. I'm not sure I do a great job of it though. He ends up having the same reaction as your son. Hopefully over time, it will start to sink in. I find the same thing with some teachers. They really have a hard time modifying work for him because I really don't think they get how his mind works (or doesn't work). Unfortunately, he's been stuck with the same teachers for all of middle school. I end up trying to fill in the gaps at home but it's painful for both of us. Yes - we've got modified workbooks/textbooks that supposedly breaks down the material but it's in such a confusing way that even I have a hard time figuring out what they want him to do. And then when I try to explain it in a different way, he goes ballistic because it's not the way the teachers want him to do it. I just can't win! [/QUOTE]
