I've been struggling to understand why DS isn't doing quite as well as I would expect in school. Just last night we learned that he is quite nearsighted!
In the past, I've asked him if he could see the smart board at school and he would always answer yes. I asked him again last night and again he answered yes! I asked him how is that possible from what the eye doctor told me? He answered, Oh, I can SEE the smart board, I just can't tell what's on it! Arrrrg! Why does he have to be so literal.
If he's not seeing the board, I honestly don't know how he's managed to get by in school! We are an English-only speaking family but DS is in a Chinese immersion program 50% of the day (teacher uses NO English). The Chinese teacher uses the smart board heavily to support what she is teaching, especially when teaching math.
I'm really hoping his getting glasses helps him do better in school. Is it possible the answer is so simple? Why hasn't his teachers noticed he can't see?
