Thank you for the replies. I should have chosen my words more carefully. I do not honestly think she "does not care", more that certain information does not get stored in her brain for whatever reason. It is a bit strange, though, because she has an excellent memory for certain things, but then not for other things. When I was working earlier this year, after having been a SAHM forever, my schedule changed every single day, and my daughter never, ever forgot who was picking her up when or where she had to be. I was afraid every day that she would forget and go to the wrong place or wrong person or whatever. She surprised me, because she never, ever forgot what she had to do or where she had to be. On the other hand, at least twice per week, she would forget a jacket, a lunchbox, etc. She can remember math facts, lyrics to a song she has heard once, something I told her years ago...and then she cannot remember her phone number. So, her memory is just a bit unusual. So far, though, she has done very well in school. Of course, she is only going in to third grade. I don't think the challenges have been too difficult for her so far.
I am going to be getting a full report from the psychologist, but not until the end of next month. She is going to recommend an IEP to the school based on my daughter's "unique" style of learning. I had not considered dyslexia as a possibility, and it has never been mentioned to me by the school, but that means nothing. I will do some reading on the subject.
It is reassuring to know that a less than stellar working memory has not been a detriment to your life, Grinity. I guess that even though the psychologist does not at all seem to be concerned about this aspect of my daughter's testing, I am worried about it.
