[QUOTE="Shari, post: 423525, member: 1848"] I paid for and took her to tutoring and counseling, I've worked with her mom to give her "rewards" for grades of a video game time (worked really well, too), but it was just "too much work" for mom to implement. I got her an evaluation for an IEP, and they said they thought she ADHD, and if she did, and got the diagnosis from a doctor, they could give her pullout help - mom got the diagnosis, but didn't want her dad and I involved in the meeting, so never reconvened the IEP team. Among other things. So...I am letting it go. I can't do anything to make it better, so I'm not going to drive myself crazy over it. I just told husband I don't care what her grades on, I will not have her rewarded for her **** grades while I'm around. So whats he do? Wants to see her grades (first time all year) and then calls her in and says WTH is this ****? Grrr. I don't want involved. I am staying out of it. But I don't want to hear "how wonderful" she is, either, and thats all I asked. I could go on and on about the teachers, too. They are supposed to send home a note if an assingment isn't turned in. The parents sign it, the kid does the assignment, returns both to the school the next day, gets partial credit for the assignment. No signature, no credit. Five notes is supposed to be a detention. School wide - not per class. It is pretty normal for her to end each quarter with 15 missing assignments. No notes home. PLUS she gets to go on the "100% club" field trips for not having any detentions or any of these notes sent home. So...where's the teachers? Cause while that won't work for a real difficult child - it darn sure does this one. Thats what makes me so mad...she is so easy to "work". If someone just [I]would. PS - she'll make up some of those assignments at the end of the quarter, and they'll give her full credit... [/I] [/QUOTE]
