My Daughter Who Has Recently Been Diagnosis With Adhd,teacher Is Trying To Retain Her In The First Grade?
Her grades improved after the doctor percrisbed her a medicine called Foilcn which is used to keep her focus, she is struggling with math I suggested that she be placed in the second grade and pulled out during the math class and placed in a remedial math class or even tested for special education class but they are telling me that there is nothing that I can do about it. But other teachers said that she can’t be held back in the first grade only grades third, fifth, eight, and tenth can be held back. Is there any truth to that? I rather for her to be placed in a smaller classroom setting so that she can understand better than to repeat the first grade and she becomes bored and things get worse. Some children learn slower than others, I can accept that fact, what I can’t accept is that they are telling me that I don’t want to give here that label, but her teacher is willing to hold her back. What is the difference? I rather have her label with a learning disiability instead of behavior
Whats Your Opinion On The Add/adhd Diagnosis In Grade Schoolers?
My 10 year old is showing all the classic symptoms according to her teachers and misc other websites, but i’m old school. Born in the 70’s I was taught that if a child misbehaves often, they just need more/better parenting (with my parents it was “hand to butt talks”). Im struggling with taking her to the Dr for her problems for fear of a diagnosis that; one will follow her forever and two, may be wrong. So do I bite the bullet, trust the Dr, and give her the magic pill or do something else?
Some history- My daughter at 10 is very bright and artistic. She has a very caring nature, and tries to please my wife and I, but does very bad in school (grades). She is very forgetful and looses everything and extremely fidgety.
