First of all, she taught for 7 years in the public school system...she has a degree in education..
Middle school math...6th and 7th grade...
Half of her students could not master basic math, nor could they read on grade level...The teachers had passed through many students with learning disabilities...which she was able to see many had dyslexia..from how they were transposing numbers in basic math...
My granddaughter has a learning disability...and my grandson is the opposite..he entered public school reading..and was board...which made him antsy...and the teachers wanted to put him on Ritalin...
She found a homeschool group...and my granddaughter is now on grade level with all her subjects..
And, my grandson...is able to work on the higher level he needed to keep him interested...
They have made many friends with those who meet 2 days a week for music, art, and field trips...
My granddaughter does everything all girls do with her friends...and, the best thing is..her friends are diverse..and of all colors..
They go to the mall and the movies..have sleepovers..and talk about boys...
My grandson...has friends too..they do more of the video games...and rough housing...
