[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 598023, member: 11791"] CB? I'm not about to bash you on this but I'd like you to think about that statement. If [I]you[/I] treat her like she has a "bad attitude", then... my experience? bad attitude is exactly what you will get. She gets enough of that from school. Your Mom's approach of hiring a tutor to help with that English credit? Good idea. One-on-one instruction often helps. I hope it's some good-looking guy, or at least somebody difficult child can relate to on some level. There's gotta be something in it for difficult child beyond "marks". As for those "easy" classes with tons of writing? IEP re-write time. Have her do double the art-work and a quarter of the writing. Have her do verbal or visual presentations of things the others are writing about. Have her do a "survey report" of the other students' findings on a particular subject... they research and do up their "results" and hand off to difficult child. They do their essays based on the "results", and difficult child pulls all the results together into an "overview". Stats etc. where that is possible, because she's not bad at math. Make use of her skills... (can you tell we've been down this road?) [/QUOTE]
