Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 lol. I think he has a point. For my son it's the what do you think could have happened or what do you think the character might've been feeling. If it isn't spelled out in the book you'd better give up on him giving an appropriate answer. a he refused to write a > paragraph on a book they had read in class, he said the teacher told them to write a > paragraph about why and where the book took place and since he could do that > in one sentence he did not feel the need to do more lol. ANyway the teacher > thinks she can get him to do more on Monday lets see can she lol. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Roxanna, that is the same way Zach has been all of his life. School was great until he hit 6th grade and realized he needed help here and there, but refused to ask. I had many conferences with his teachers and the same thing was brought up--he never asked for help so they ASSumed he knew it all. Now he is in really difficult classesand not doing well. MISSY SAHM to some special kids!!! Excuse Me While I Go Raise Tomorrow's Future. Re: ( ) Dodged a bullet today > I will. He is trying so hard to have a social life it has become an obcessive thing. He keeps telling me when he is 16 he wants to move out and never come back. The way is dad pushes him I don't doubt that he will do it. > I think at this point in time he has already given up on high school. He won't ask for help, he never has. He thinks if he does everyone will know he is is stupid. > MISSY > SAHM to some special kids!!! > My ds, 14 yo, is the same way. He won't ask for help at all. I really stress that they have to help him and they always try to get away with saying, " but he didn't ask for help! " ugh. You just have to keep pushing. Let us know how it goes!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Sadly last year hunter had to write a paper on math for math class. And they hung it up at Open House.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Missy, Please don't let him give up! My son , now 16, felt the same way last year. I thought for sure that he would not ever finish school and get his diploma. he refused to go to school most days, and I found out later that on days that he went he cut some of his classes. It took me fighting for him, to find a placement that he could function in, for him to be happy. he gets up cheerfully every morning and goes to school, and enjoys it. Things are going well now, and will hopefully continue to. Will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Barb Missy Feldhaus <itchy10@...> wrote: I will.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Thanks Barb. I just hope he doesn't give up on himself. His 6wk progress report as of today is all failing. I managed to keep his dad from blowing a gasket over it tho. MISSY SAHM to some special kids!!! Excuse Me While I Go Raise Tomorrow's Future.
