[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 464585, member: 3419"] LOL! Welll, since I'm out of town, husband is letting difficult child go on the computer pretty much any time, because husband works so much. He calls and makes sure difficult child is on the bus, etc. and says that's good because it gives difficult child a feeling of independence. (Yeah, but it doesn't make him breakfast.) He did not stay after with-the Spanish teacher. The counselor called and said they cannot put an aide in the room for two reasons: He has a 504 not an IEP, and has not been diagnosed learning disabled; and it's an elective, and only core classes get aides. She said other kids have complained about the teacher's accent and a few of them have learned that the backup plan is to copy the work off of the board. I told her that's great, but difficult child will not take the initiative to do that; he gives up and withdraws. It won't occur to him to do the writing thing instead of the listening thing unless he is told. I will text him later today to follow up on that. husband" said thatgfg did some Spanish because he saw it at home. Also, I did reward difficult child for his math test grade last wk (or 10 days ago?), which was an A. I took him to Best Buy and bought him a PS2 game. Also, cousin P bought him a novel. I guess what I have to do is repeat the reward and kudos b4 talking about anything else (even though I did say "Good!" it wasn't good enough), but keeping difficult child off the computer long enough to even speak civilly is the hard part. Staying with-my sister and her 17-yr-old son, I can see what a typical teen does (left out pots and pans, messes everywhere, etc.) but he is getting good grades and is otherwise very responsible, despite his colon issues. (by the way, he was up every hr and a half last night going tothe bathroom and I did not get any sleep. :( Tonight will be better; I'm in a different room.) Thank you all for your support. I'll try to remember the pistacio recipe and type it on WC. [/QUOTE]
