[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh for Pete's sake:  not every child who doesn't do what you want them to in school has a learning disability. If your kid can focus when he wants to, then he either has a lack of desire to focus or a low tolerance of bullshit, which is 2/3 of what they teach in school. [/quote]

OP here.  LOL...I say this exasct thing too.  Why do ppl always ask about LD.  My child just doesn't want to put forth the effort.[/quote]

Are people "always asking?"  Does that include teachers?[/quote]

OP here.  I was speaking in general.  No teacher has ever approached me about DD having a LD.  She did go through some sort of anxiety a little while ago when she thought I would get deployed (Military reservist, so I retired to put her at ease), but now I just think she doesn't want to put in the extra work.  She is already in "distress" about next school year and the fact that her required summer reading book is well over 400pgs of small print.  She definitely likes "cruising" through her classes without much studying.  Not sure how to handle this.[/quote]
