[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 604046, member: 15473"] Insane...I understand what you mean by understanding both points of view. husband is totally against homeschooling he thinks she should just power through and find her niche. On the other hand I know how difficult it was for me to sit in the back of a classroom and not understand any of what was going on. Once I got "lost" I felt stupid and when I added once bad teacher to that mix I completely shut down and stopped learning. I survived school but I was sorely underqualified for college. Soapbox...Her main issue is noise and distraction but since she does marginal in the classes no one considers her to need assistance. She also has a hard time taking any criticism. If a teacher says "please stop talking" she takes it as a major insult and immediately begins pouting then it turns in to a whole big drama in her mind. I am trying to get her in for testing to see what issues she really has so that we can work around them. DaisyFace.....Thats one of my main concerns with her and the social aspect. The kids she hangs around are not really the best influences. They have major issues with the "jocks" and the "populars" and well just about anyone but themselves. These same kids are the ones I usually want to take home and bathe while washing their clothes and calling their parents to see if they are alive. The quality of her social interactions is not what I would like. I think it just feels like a cop out because she has never had any accommodations or actually had any active participation in her education. This kid has done everything she can to thwart us or the school providing her with tutoring including repeatedly "missing" the after school tutoring. :smile: [/QUOTE]
