aww.., Lukemac. I'm sorry for your stress and worries. What was the second achievement testing for? just the kind they do in school? Sorry I can't tell you about the testing, we've not been there yet.
If he's crying everyday tell the school. They took me out of class daily in second grade to teach a first grade reading group. I remember not loking second grade. Sometimes you gotta make some noise to be heard. Call the secretary. Make a phone conference appointment with the principal or teacher. Let them know that something about going to school is really bothering your kid.
Don't get ulcers. Afterschool. Stick with the three Rs. It doesn't take much to get and stay on track. Make studying a habit for 20 minutes to an hour or so a day most days. Read three times a week. Do a little math daily. Make a weekly writing goal. Make it a lifestyle habit. At least that's how I'm raising my kids regardless of the school. It's probably no surprise I'm saying teach your kid extra, I'd say that to most parents.
