[QUOTE="Anxworrier, post: 551530, member: 15226"] My difficult child son is 7th grade and so is new to middle school. Montessori is much different changing from sixth to seventh. He had all the time in the world prev yrs and no grades really. But in 7,8 grade they get them ready for high school expectations. My kid is floundering. Sometimes I feel like he is just lazy and video game obsessed and he has no qualms about lying about his workload. Bare minimum effort and when i gently try to check his work I am viewed with hostility. Is it a terrible thing to just pray that he can just skate by without failing from now till end of high school? How do I convey to teachers that this is gonna be a bumpy ride?and just because he has ****** quality of work that I'm still a caring, educated, loving mom whose heart breaks that he has it so hard? I'm so sensitive that I worry he is just a reflexion of me, so if he is unworthy then so am I. But my personality as a student was quiet, shy, too scared to participate but was a perfectionist and wanted to please my parents and my teachers so I studied hard and had high grades. And never spoke a word out of turn in my life. Yes this is one of my repetitive laments..it isn't fair for me to get a child so diff from me! Anyway, you are two yrs ahead of me in this experience. I will def not be able to put my kid in any honors classes, as I have done with my easy child daughter 16. I hope you get the support you need! [/QUOTE]
