Granddaughter just got first pair of glasses and we're hoping this helps when school tests her for dyslexia.
Right now I'm furious because suddenly Zeke's teacher has the whole school spying/reporting on him for daily behaviour report. Cafeteria lady a.m, class, P.E., Cafeteria lady p.m., class.... Lunch lady said he ignored her when told to get fruit or vegetable. Personally, as much and as well as he eats, thats none of their business. Even his sister said she would be mad if she thought everyone was reporting on her like this. Damn. Why did they just start now? Why did he get an average 2+ out of 4 all year til now? When they said the write-ups may go on the district computer (ie PERMANENT RECORD), I said "he's only 5"! I have always taken their messages seriously, but again he's only 5. A "Baby Huey" 5. Big baby, big boy tall for his age, but not mature by any means. I admit he's a handful. He came to me 4-yrs ago screaming about everything. As he grew and learned to communicate, the screaming subsided but he's very concerning with being in control. I read a book on ADHD the first year he lived with me. In my eyes, he is so much better now. I told the school that drugs are a no-go, absolute last option but that upset them. They seem determined to push it in that direction. Working full-time means I don't have enough time to concentrate on his issues. This last year kids have gone to stay with their mom for weekends to give me a break, but mom lets him run wild and just yells at him. I'm at my wits end.
