Thank-you for the mention John. I would like to suggest people read Liz’s 2nd comment under IQ discrepancy and LD if they visit my blog- she has written a very thoughtful post on how her daughter successfully managed the public school system. I also want to say how wonderful it is to read about teachers going the extra mile for a learner.
Liz does have a good perspective; she sees things clearly and tells ‘em straightly.
