Dd's started as "I am a slave to the desert but my heart belongs to the sea.".
This cracked me up. This is my ds13. He had to write an about me essay years ago. It was this in depth self psychoanalysis about his ADHD and how his mind works compared to other kids. It was mind blowing for his age.
Polarbear. I can't thank you enough for your input. I really do want to go back to the school with suggests of how to evaluate her well not just retesting over again. I don't mind the test, but I would like them to yield productive information. They are a K-2 school and I don't believe most of these things get looked at until the next building in 3 grade or so. I may need to press them on having the other buildings staff evaluate her or work with an outside neuropsychologist. If I can find the answers and help her I don't care who does it. My oldest had all the normal signs of dyslexia and still wasn't identified until 4th grade. I don't want her to have to go through that long period of confidence destroying waiting.
The more suggestions I can make to the school to really root this out the better. She is a sweet loving little ray of sunshine. Some days she just looks sad and crushed coming home from school. It makes me sad to think she may have an LD but I'd rather know sooner.
