[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it's really common that kids with ADHD or other LDs might melt down or get oppositional at home but not at school. They are working hard to keep it all together during the day and don't always have the most appropriate responses at home.[/quote] Precisely. We had similar issues with our son in 6th grade. We put him in a private school with a learning specialist on staff and the change is amazing. He LOVES school. He is motivated to do his homework. He stays after school 2x a week for study hall and does a lot of work then. The entire 7th grade team works on organizational strategies. When I read OP's posts, I thought she was describing my son in 6th grade. Now I feel like I have a different child. The small classes, individualized attention, and focus on community has made a HUGE difference for our child. When a child is happy, he'll want to do well. [/quote]
