[quote=Anonymous]Our DS attends a selective (big 6 depending on how you look at schools) school and was diagnosed in 6th grade. I’m very concerned about it for older grades. We are reteaching him math using Ronit Bird books. It’s eye opening. I thought the easy games would be too simplistic for him but I realized that he really needed the basics. We now work through Ronit Bird on the weekends and school work during the week. As parents, we are spending at least 30-45 minutes with him per day on math. The teacher does not understand dyscalculia but has been very accommodating in terms of classroom and testing accommodations. Our DC also meets weekly with the teacher during office hours plus an out of school tutor. The goal is not to fail this year. I am very concerned about algebra and higher level math because there aren’t options for remedial math at private schools. Our goal is that our DS gets a C and has enough of an understanding of math to maintain a banking account.

In our case, the goal is to show the school that we are in partnership with them.  We also are trying to find a summer program (haven’t found one yet). That being said, there is no remedial math and I’m petrified about what will happen in algebra. My DS has strong grades in everything not math related, and I think that is why the school is working with us, but it is becoming harder to keep up with the work for all of us.

We have kids in different schools and without naming my other kid’s school (a top 6), there is no way that should would have accommodated our other kid. [/quote]
