Anyone else dealing with this?
In the past week, I have received emails from three of my son's teachers all with similar complaints. Your son still can't add without a calculator, so how can he be asking for harder math next year? Your kid still can't spell, so how is it he's getting put into gifted literature next year? If your kid is having a hard time getting engaged in doing this easy homework he says he's done since third grade, how can we believe he's actually going to do homework and harder classes?
I even had one teacher make the comment that she thought that by this time of the year my son would be showing improvement with remembering assignments given verbally. He has an auditory processing disorder...
It's like expecting someone in a dance class that is born with one foot shorter than the other to somehow, over time, become a smooth dancer without wearing a shoe that is fitted so that their legs are the same length.
It is so frustrating! I'm curious how the rest of you deal with this.
