[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have two kids with IEPs and one overachiever. My son is really struggling in middle school. He has no interest in academics but is good at many things. I am not sure if he will pass the 7th grade. We are trying to figure out how to help him but he seems like he is giving up. [/quote] PP, hang in there. My DD has struggled in middle school too. We tried everything including extensive testing, a 504, ADHD meds, tutor, bribes, punishments, you name it. When things get tough, she just stops trying. We are finally starting to see more grit in 8th grade. It's tough to hear all the parents of her peers bragging non-stop. I'm just reminding myself that she can go to Montgomery College for 2 years and then transfer to UMD if she does well. Knowing that is an option takes some pressure off as we approach HS. I once read a post on this board where someone said "It's not where you start, it's where you end up." Very true![/quote]
