I had Sierra's Partent Teacher Conference this morning and I am a little disapointed. Sierra is doing better socially and working independently but...some of her grades have gotten worse. In READING she actually got an A-. That is her worse subject supposedly. Writing stayed the same C+, Math went from an A to a C+, Spelling went from a A to a C-, and Science went fr4om an A- to a B-. Her effort went up all around but....
When we talked it was because she is not passign things in. I know she does them but...I can't take them to the teacher. That is her job. She is a little better about things.
I don't know why it bothers me so much. It doesn't seem to bother her at all.

I'm so sorry, Ruth and no, you're not a bad mom. Maybe you can talk with her teachers and see if they have any ideas about what you or someone else can do to help her.

Ruth, you're not a bad mom.
I am happy that my son is doing so well in his grades, but it is just him. I think. He wants to get really good grades and does whatever he can to make them even better by doing extra credit when available. I think it's just something in his personality that makes him that way. We do encourage him to do his best and get the highest grades that he can.
My co-workers daughter is failing a couple of her subjects. She spends to much time being involved in her friends problems and doesn't concentrate on her school work. My son is friends with her and has offered to help her with her work. The teacher did help her the other day to catch up on some of the stuff she has failed to hand in.
My son took his first class yesterday in a special class that runs once a week for 6 weeks. He wanted to take it. It is called S.O.S. group or Strengthening Sense of Self. It is for him to help with his anger that he wants to beat up all these kids that pick on him. It is a small group and they as my son says are nerds like him. They all wear glasses. I told him that maybe these kids can be friends with him since they have something in common. I hope it helps him!
My co-worker asked the guidance counselor at school to talk to her daughter about doing better in her classes, because she said it will mean more coming from the counselor than her just telling her she needs to do better.
Good luck!
Laura

I was surprised she did good in reading that is where her disability is.
