[QUOTE="Marciad5, post: 486926, member: 13340"] Thanks for replying so quickly to my message. I know that her difficulties in school have kept her back and it didn't help that her two older sisters sailed through school with relative ease. The only "job" she's had is school, and she sucked at it. Her disability didn't make it impossible for her to learn, just a little more difficult. I work as a paraprofessional in the same school district she attended, so I think I'm pretty aware of her difficulties. We discovered her learning differences in 2nd grade and by 5th she had progressed so well that we staffed her out. Middle school turned out to be a bit tougher than she anticipated, so rather than be the stupid kid, she became the problem kid. Periodically she and I will have conversations about her choices and she always says she'll try harder, but her promises so far have been empty. I don't want to have to kick her out, but I guess we're looking for something to shock her or just let her know her chances are pretty much run out. [/QUOTE]
