I have to remember to be more absolute in my statements of DS's abilities rather than my usual hedging style. Our situation this year is much better than the last 2 years. Hopefully after the IEP meeting, we will be able to finally meet some of DS's needs. The school so far has been as proactive as I could expect (not quite at my wish list level but ...:)) and at P/T conference last week, the teacher really seemed to "get" DS. So many of her comments were right on to my perceptions of him and she was extremely open and honest about how she could meet some of his needs but not all in the mainstream classroom.

Ok, let's move on then" and I thought if only this could happen in school! I love tutors who get it. My son's Bass Guitar teacher does the same thing. I'm glad your Math tutor is working out. Not sure if it's fortunate or unfortunate, just glad your boy is happy! Trinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com
