[quote=Anonymous]Parent of elementary school child (4th grade) with an IEP. I'm beginning to be at peace with the fact that DS likely will be a C student in school. We're in Arlington and they get grades starting in 3rd grade. He simply doesn't test well - it likely is anxiety (which he has), along with executive function issues. Interestingly, this year (unlike years past), he's shown at home that he has a good handle on the material in many subjects but when he's at school and gets tests on the material, he just doesn't do well. For us, the other interesting thing is he's demonstrating a high level of effort at school this year. It is of course still early in the year -- indeed, in his school career -- but I do sense he is always going to struggle in academics. Thankfully (for his own self-esteem), he has some very clear talents/abilities.[/quote]
