[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 604016, member: 13003"] Why, in particular? If you ask her, what does she say? My difficult child told us for years that "the classroom is too noisy". School called that a crock of BS... in particular, his first year of making that comment, he had an outstanding teacher (not just in the school's estimation... every parent and almost every kid agreed, and even difficult child liked her). In reality? He has an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - has a problem with auditory figure ground. That means that he can process language just fine, and can hear... but he can't "listen" in a noisy environment, because he hears ALL the sounds and can't filter out the background noise. It made school total torment. Teachers called him lazy. We were hammered for "bad parenting". Getting the diagnosis... brought accommodations and interventions and technology. And a kid who can actually learn something at school. Use this "gap year" to get to the bottom of the real issues... and put her on a different footing for HS. [/QUOTE]
