[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like your child has special needs. And I think you know it, you just don't know the right terms for it, and it's shaking up your concept of yourself as the high-achieving parent of high-achieving children. So you're resisting it, avoiding it (like your child avoids math, no?), and generally being nasty about it because it is difficult for you to process and incorporate the idea. You are avoiding speaking with the teacher and initiating the IEP process because you don't want it to be true. But it is, and it's your job to face it. DCPS in Ward 4 are not terrible. Some are great. I assume you're at one of the lower-performing schools for math (Truesdell, Lewis, or Height maybe?), but even so, they have some students passing math, and some coming close. And this is the school where your other kids learned just fine, right? So it seems like the problem is that your kid is not getting the help your kid needs. [/quote]
