I liked it and like to think I helped most of the kids. Third grade is where it really starts to get "hard" for them. The work gets harder, making them more frustrated, but I hate to say that fourth grade is the worst. I can just feel his pain, poor kid, wish their was something I could do. Let me wrack my brain for a few days and see if I can come up with anything. Have you met with his teacher about his IEP? Maybe she can have some suggestions for you. <BR/><BR/>My sister had LD, but that was in the seventies when they didn't yet acknowledge that and she was just considered slow. Surprisingly when we moved to WV when she was in the 7th grade a math teacher worked wonders with her and she graduated top ten percent with scholarships and magna cum laude with a not one but TWO degrees, chemistry and engineering. It didn't come easy for her, she had to work HARD, harder than most, but if it weren't for that teacher I don't know where she would be. Keep it up with Garrett. He will find his niche and how to overcome these things.andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936122859722777328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14288806.post-1156349689990502402006-08-23T11:14:00.000-05:002006-08-23T11:14:00.000-05:00Oh, Angie, thanks so much for the hug!

It is so hard to see our children struggle and not be able to do anything to make it all better, like mommies are supossed to do. Pray about it is all I can say. I will say a prayer for you guys too! For now here is a great big cyber *hug* for you my friend!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610661943814306344noreply@blogger.com
