AlexsMom-that is her EXACTLY, except this has been going on almost since the beginning of school . It spills over to math now where they ask the child to "explain" how they got an answer (don't even get me started on that)...and if I tried to tell her what to write, she will absolutely NOT write.
SO far, the only success we have had this year was when I told her to brainstorm 5 ideas ("What makes a good friend") then I let her do the "writing" on the computer. I know she can't do all her work this way and it still took her a long time to decide what she wanted to write, but at least she was doing it and not having a fit.
