[QUOTE="Malika, post: 430064, member: 11227"] Well, that's interesting! Sorry, Mysti, this thread has been taken over now (my fault originally). How would I have felt if I'd had special help and got a grade for science....? To be honest, I'm not sure. I excelled in English, getting As most of the time, and other arts subjects (went on to university where I read English and graduated magna *** laude) and there was this kind of kudos at being such a duffer at science, if that makes any sense... The thing is it just didn't interest me and of course if you're not interested, you have no motivation to try. No, I confess I never read National Geographic... Programmes or articles in layman's language about the origin of the universe, stars, and so on - yes, that would be interesting! I always felt I could probably understand science if it had been explained REALLY slowly, step by step, giving context and background all the time... but of course there is never time to do that with one failing student in a class. And now Mysti, please say more about your daughter, and apologies! :-) [/QUOTE]
