[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 598116, member: 2196"] Thank you MidwestMom for your kind words. I am extra careful around difficult child and positive to a fault with her cause her dad is so intent on putting her down. I feel like I have to be extra supportive when it comes to her because she is so used to hearing negative from all directions. I am doing my best to try and get her in a positive mind set. She hates everything right now. Hates school, hates her dad and stepmom, and says she hates her life. I feel bad for her cause this really was a tough year due to her illness and changing schools. She hated her last school for months but finally turned around and started making friends. I am really hoping the same thing will happen next year at this school. As far as English is concerned, she has an aide that does most of the writing for her. But she has learning disabities and sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation is her weakness. I am happy that she is going to have a tutor helping her with it this summer. We may even keep her on next year if needed. As for electives next year I don't think we will be doing art and ceramics again. The classes are too structured and difficult child does not like them. She is a very talented artist but does not like projects they have been doing and has no interest in making things out of clay. Her counselor says next year they are thinking of putting in a choir class and difficult child loves to sing, so that is an option for her. They also have computer and drama classes so those are a possibility as well. This year has really been difficult in many ways so I am going to be relieved when it is finally over. I am looking onward to summer vacation and spending time with both kids and I think we all deserve a relaxing summer break. I am counting down the days till June 29. [/QUOTE]
