[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever met someone who doesn’t think they’re smart? I never have. [/quote] Um, a lot of special needs kids feel this way. [/quote] Pretty much every ADHD kid I know feels that way. And here is the thinking. Smart = Good Grades Not Smart = Bad Grades When you continuously get bad grades because you got the assignment wrong, or turned it in late or left it at home, you internalize that you are not smart. Obviously, at some point in life, everyone has to be accountable for work and meeting deadlines. However, many kids are not at this level of maturity in 5th and 6th grade, when their grades start sliding with increased expectations. They get bad grades, decide they are not smart and stop trying.
