They tried to say my son was ADD. We ran him through a battery of tests...and with the exception of one, he was well above average score. But we got a good doctor. her prescription? Some tutoring.
My son goes to a tutor twice a week now and in less than a year, he's Honor Roll (full house: Aces over betas). Now what this tells me is that these mandated teaching scripts from Washington (The chicago system) DON'T Work. They make you memorize lists, but They Don't Teach You To Read. There are ZERO phonics anymore.
Oh, and by the way, I took a little pole at his cubscout troop and more than half the kids are in external tutoring programs now....
