[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like my now-21 year old at that age. I'm fairly certain she has undiagnosed LDs. [b]I'm even more certain that, had she had a diagnosis to fall back on, she would have used it as an excuse whenever possible.[/b]

She's worked hard and had to learn how to manage her workload. Middle school was the hardest time for her, high school somewhat better. She had quarters where she had a GPA in the low 2s, and one brilliant quarter with straight A's while taking honors and AP classes.

She's a senior in college with a 3.something GPA today, and says she's glad she never had a diagnosis, because she agrees that she would have used it as a reason for her troubles.

Her sister has some pretty severe LDs and couldn't survive without an IEP. I'm not advocating that we should ignore our children's needs. But I know that my younger dd had a couple special education teachers who caused more harm than they did good.

I'd hire a tutor/mentor instead of getting the school involved.[/quote]
