[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:19 is on the right track. It sounds like the school is failing to support your child. I wouldn't pay for that. There are plenty of great schools around here with a more positive and protective approach to education than sink or swim. No reason to stay in a bad match.[/quote]

I agree.  The school doesn't sound that great if they don't inform you of missing assignments and guidance on how DS can improve or get more organized, which will become critical in HS.  maybe the current school is not a good fit for DS although it may be great for other kids.  And, you glossed over the part about taking him off his ADHD medication.  Was that your decision or the pediatrician's?  Just because one stimulant did not work does not mean another may not be effective.  I am not sure getting a tutor will be the silver bullet you are looking for.  And, finally, it is odd the "excellent school" does not put assignments and completion percentages for each student on a secure web portal like a lot do.  [/quote]
