[quote=Anonymous]DC / 8th grader with a dyscalc diagnosis (and a 504 as a result).

Math has been a struggle but they are still just about average (statewide norms). Since 6th grade they are technically in advanced / 9th grade (but it's essentially what most on the college path are in). This year has been awful and I know some--but not all--relates to the teacher. Tutors do not see any major issues; just needs patience and explanations.

I'm worried about high school where all classes -- including their current level has "academic" and "honors." Multiple teachers have basically said to avoid academic at all costs due to disruptions/behavioral issues. However, I don't really think DC is up to honors level work in math.

Ideally, we would want them to do math at a state run virtual school OR a specialized school for kids with LDs. I know this is district dependent (we are in NC, so not expecting anyone to know) but in general how unusual would this approach be...OR tips to advocate for DC.[/quote]
