"there is an enormous rant behind that paragraph, but almost everyone on the list has heard it several times, so I will refrain. Bottom line, the kid is 21 now and in his weaker subject no worse off than his peers; in his better, quite a bit ahead. This because I declined to let the schools system make him a statistic. And yes, he was dually exceptional, with ADD, problems with fine motor skills, and an IQ of 140.....and they had the test scores to prove it. They just weren't going to do anything about it until he failed a grade. Over the fact that his teacher would not accept his homework because of his handwriting. I'll shut up now."
I feel your pain. Similar situation with one of my children which is why she is at a private school now. Her treatment by the school was so bad, that a teacher encouraged us to take the school to court. My other two children are at the same public school and it works great for them.
