HoneyBadger, thank you so much for posting this. I could have cried. I don't post here often and usually only come when things are bad. EF for my boys, who just finished 3rd grade, is a serious problem. For me, living with a DH and two boys who struggle with this is starting to make my head explode, and I am pretty sure it is much harder to be the boys, with the nagging and organizational failures, than it is to live with them.
I'm reading through the thread now, as best I can. Hopefully I can gain something before I am next interrupted. So, thanks. Much appreciated. I wish I had something constructive to offer. On our end, I'm just glad things are coming to a head after grade 3, and not later. I tried to address things pro-actively at school, but that was a miserable failure. The bright side is that now the school recognizes there is a big problem. We are on a waitlist for testing, and the school has approved counselling for one of them (prompted by him running away from school).
