[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you for the constructive remarks. And to the non-constructive remarks, I want to emphasize that I am NOT trying to just excuse my kid's behavior or performance. I am trying to figure out how to help my kid be more engaged and enjoy school, which right now is a big struggle.

His teacher in the assessment given to the psych. generally focused on attention issues, sloppiness, attention to detail, etc. Basically, a narrative that would support ADHD testing. The issue is that the workup did not support this. Like...at all.

So, we're back to trying to make the most of things. His teacher basically sees his behavior as (1) not giving effort (true); (2) defiant (well, possibly true), and (3) his performance is what it is. She isn't willing to go beyond what the pacing guide expects her to do, she is not going to modify her instruction absent an IEP and based on the I-ready he needs serious remediation and support notwithstanding other data points pointing to the opposite conclusion.

Basically, this teacher and my kid aren't jiving and I am trying to figure out how to be a good partner to the teacher and bridge this gap with minimal success.
