[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690856, member: 19951"] This is true for some kids out there in those school environments. For my Difficult Child, we had him tested professionally and found out he was learning disabled at age 4. He did go through Special Education programs all the way through high school. I went to most of his IEPs. I fought the school for his rights when they tried to snow me over. He was taught basic life skills by us and in school. He was taught to brush his teeth, hygiene. He was taught to clean his room, make his bed, do chores by us. He was taught morals, respect by us. Fast forward when on his own, he slacked in hygiene, has bad teeth. He lived a wild, crazy life, couch surfing, living on the street, a true homeless person at times. He learned to lie to get things to survive. He learned to con and scam people for money. Present day. He has met a minister, a mentor, the mentor told me he is taking showers, taking care of his hygiene. He is doing good. So for my Difficult Child, he was taught. When he got on his own and was around less then desirable people, he learned other "life skills" to survive. He told me yesterday the mentor helped him put a flyer together for work he could do, basic, simple stuff. He said he was going to get a hair cut to look decent, as his hair was too long. He is progressing for now. Like Jabber said: we all have road blocks of something in life. We, have to at some point figure things out ourselves or seek advice and support to get what we need to learn and succeed. [/QUOTE]
