[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can those of us with 10th graders having a rocky start post too?  Kiddo who was diagnosed with a specific learning disability this summer is struggling in a couple classes.  Turning work in late and incomplete, feeling overwhelmed and defeated already just a few weeks in.  Really hoping they can crawl out of the hole and get back on track.  Had to have a tough conversation and a bit of an intervention last night.[/quote]
Mom of a dyslexic kid here. Hang in there. You’ve got supports lined up, and it’s normal for this initial period to just take some getting used to and for everyone (kid, you, school, etc) to figure out what’s needed and find balance and routines. It will get better. And while sure, grades matter, the process of getting a diagnosis, learning how to manage it, etc., is actually a thing you/your kid can point to as an example of growth, overcoming challenge, etc, when applying to college. Don’t panic, and don’t stress bout that part now. Focus on figuring out what’s in front of you first. You can do it. 🤍
Get a tutor stat. Those grades matter [/quote]

We have a tutor and other supports lined up.  It’s just been tough.  We’re well aware grades matter, thanks for that really helpful comment.[/quote][/quote]
