Just an update:
We have started a new semester, and with it has come the change in math teachers. Oh what a difference the teacher can make. The new teacher called my son up during quiet work time and told him that sh was sure he'd do well in her class. She told him that he could email his homework, do it on graph paper or whatever was easiest. She offered to meet him during lunch or after school for one-on-one if he needed. And most amazing, she gave him her cell and said he could text questions in the evening.
He came home happy, motivated and more confident. He did his homework, asked us for help instead of quitting, and filed his homework in the folder to turn in.
I know new bumps are ahead, but I'm doing a happy dance today.
