Your description is right on! I think I will get that book so it gives me ideas. The 4th grade teacher (my daughters) spent the first 3 weeks learning each childs learning style. My ds teacher spent it on worksheets. She wants him tranferred to a regular class where there "are no expectations" - her quote not mine. We have already done the regular classroom and ended up with behavior problems. On top of that, I just saw his grades from yesterday's 4 tests (yes they were worksheets!) and he got 3 100's and 1 75. The 75 is because there were only 4 questions and he missed one! She told him yesterday that she has given up on him and will no longer give him extra help. I see another meeting on the horizon.
