Okay, so in a previous post, I mentioned that we (hubby-Chris, son- Austin and I) moved to this cute little town from Toronto. One BIG HUGE reason for moving was Austin's education. We were really unhappy with his grades for grade 2 & 3. He was coming home so upset, completely frustrated and emotionally drained, every day. We forced the issue to go before a committee of experts who decide based on what we (the parents) and the teachers say, they weigh the facts and decide if testing for a learning disability (LD) is required. We won the battle and he was tested over a 3 month period. Once he was diagnosed with a processing LD we thought it was going to get better however the school and the Peel Board of education did very little to work with us to resolve the problem and we met road blocks at every one of our attempts to get involved. We have now been here in this new school system since February and the school has so much support in place and thanks to a lot of extra effort Austin is putting in, he is doing much better. He has more confidence and is happier these days. The proof is in the test above and in the smile he has every day after school. My son doesn't hate school anymore. I am THE proudest mom in the world!!!
Drop a comment for Austin to let him know you saw his test!

ReplyDeleteIt is really good to know two languages, and french is the second most used language in the western world. It will help you get a really good job someday.
