I think one of the biggest challenges of being a parent of a 2e kid is figuring out when to advocate for your child and when to back up the teacher.
My son has in his IEP that he is allowed extra time to complete homework due to his dyslexia and dysgraphia. My son is telling me that the poems he had to do for a class were confusing and frustrating; he says he didn't understand the instructions. But the teacher is telling me my son is chatty in class and not making his best effort.
And I've seen both sides of him - the frustration and avoidance and being the class clown because he's compensating for not being able to complete a task, and then I've also seen him play the victim card to get out of trouble.
How do you filter through it all to figure out what is going on with your 2e kid?
