[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would have the testing done privately if what the school is offering doesn't make you comfortable. I was like you (and sounds like your kid, too) in school. I didn't do well, teachers either said I wasn't all that smart or that I was just lazy and unmotivated. It took me until college and later grad school to realize that I was smart, I just had a hard time with certain things. When my son started to struggle in first grade we had him tested and he is dyslexic. I read up on dyslexia and found I am, too, in all liklihood. And I realized that I didn't have to hate school, I didn't have to feel dumb. What a waste of all those years. I didn't want the same thing for my kid. So he's gotten the specialized support he needs and now he likes school and feels smart. Its worth it, OP. Don't consign your kid to hating school and struggling for all those years, just because you did. It can be different.[/quote]
