catnapper....the number thing is called dysgraphia...I know someone who has that (along with dyslexia)...talk about frustrating.

It sounds like he's a 17 year old to me. Perhaps not running track because he didn't pass, might just wake him up. I assume he won't get the credit for the class either and will be repeating it? I don't me to be nasty, but, they have to learn somehow. I am not a parent, but, like your husband, am a teacher, so I am fully aware of the IEPs and such, so, as long as the teacher is following it and he uses the resource room, he should be able to pass. I'm sure he is frustrated too. Why not suggest (stongly ) that you guys sit down at the table and work through it together. Tell him about how numbers are for you and that you have to get help with those...maybe that would help. I always tell my students that until they're 18, their rights are limited, so get over it. (They of course tell me I'm mean...as they laugh with me) Perhaps the favorite aunt might be able to help too.(sorry if you already said that...I'm still not totally awake).
