Hope this is the right place to seek advise. I tried education! My DS has been assessed when at primary school by an ed pysch and it showed that his IQ was 126 but the processing information part was scored at 75 cant remember the exact wording just the numbers and this morning cant find the report have probably given up and filed it in B for bin as reading it sends my blood pressure up. I understand this a rare and large discrepancy. He reads beautifully is very articulate has a prodigious memory but he "under performs" does usually the "bear minimum" and in maths in particular exasperates the teachers because he's so inconsistent sometimes brilliant usually hopeless and not concentrating. Three schools down the road 1 private 2 state, countless pointless meeting with heads of SENCO and having had numerous promises broken and 8 years since this was first identified he's now in the counties top performing state comp (yr 10) primarily because regardless of if I pay or don't I hear at every parents evening the same story he's not concentrating he's not organised but then others will go he's brilliant so good at last night parents evening it was English Art and RS he's so good in, cooking, history and of course maths are useless.
My head hurts from endlessly banging it against a brick wall. If I hear once more he's too slow, doesn't follow instruction, doesn't write enough, doesn't concentrate and in particular how inconsistent he is once more I'm going to scream I thought this is all part of his poor processing profile and not something he is doing deliberately.
His only concessions are 25% extra time and a lap top but which despite five years of touch typing courses he still types with one finger!
Why am I posting this I'm just fed up exasperated and want to scream at someone about it!
