[QUOTE="dirobb, post: 86013, member: 2858"] my difficult child went to a catholic school in mid 6th and 7th grade. He learned how to manipulate the system. This school is used to having the kids from an early age. My older kids had gone there. So they accepted him based on our history with them. They kids grade their own papers. Guess who's was graded and miracously started getting 100's.(you could look at the work and know the answers were not right) I confronted him and the teachers. We finally decided it was not worth our money to have him there. He wasn't learning anything ( he passed most of his classes by 1 pt ) He was doing poorly in PE (would not suit out) this year we are trying something different. We have moved to a charter school. max class size 13. So far so good. Lost of class tutoring and very little homework, almost non-existant. He has requested that we send him to boarding school. HAHAHHAHAH Sometimes we have to be creative...not everyone fits into the same box. Don't get me started on the binder and spiral....ours seldom make it to class. [/QUOTE]
