[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one with a contrarian, obstinate kid who refused almost all proffered help/guidance (including an executive function/ADHD coach, language tutor, SAT class, college counselor, tho reluctantly let us read essay after big resistance)? So kid who is smarter than all get out (except in some ways it matters most, like accepting help when needed), is going to end up at a much less selective school than his IQ would predict, because of his less than perfect gpa, and probably his less than perfect application, which we didn’t review because he wouldn’t show us, except for the essay. It is what it is. [/quote] A common way that learning challenges are caught is that the kid's achievement does not match their IQ. Your child has a disability (I assume, if you hired an executive function/ADHD coach). Perhaps he is trying his best. Love the child you have. [/quote]
