Ellie,

I feel sooo sad for your school stories!   :(  I have a child with LD and also through that experience discovered what was wrong with my own hearing.  The teachers told my parents that I was going deaf!  I was quite the daydreamer.  Boy was my dad angry.  Not concerned, mind you, angry!!!   :evil: I passed the regular beep test because no one had yet developed the CAPD test yet.  But I knew I had something wrong with my hearing.  But no one asked me!  And of course, I couldn't speak up because my father was so angry about it.  

Also, you may see this as well in your school community, some parents have children who are diagnosed early, but the parents cannot accept it.  So they insist on having their version of reality upheld.  When the child can't perform, the teacher gets hammered as well as the child.  "Well, you need to teach him better!"  Lots of anger and/or denial.  We went through our own anger and denial as well, but my H and I decided we would rather have a happy kid who was accepted in her own family than a kid who was faking who she is.  Some kids have so much pressure on them, they cheat.  A lot.  The truth is still hard to accept at times and at other times I feel like I am learning so much through the experience.  

I'm glad your daughter has a chance to have a smoother road in school.  Congratulations on your graduation!   :D  Hugs, Seeker

Thanks to all you fellow theives and sneaks lol....!!!

It's too bad that what we didn't do or acheive got noticed. But when we did good it wasn't acknowledged. I guess it's a running theme with Ns. I always did alot more chores than my brothers and it wasn't appreciated or acknowledged.

I didn't feel as bad about the $2.00 as the fact that I felt I couldn't ask for it.  :(
