Totally agree with the to close to the cause comment. I often get frustrated at him lack of ability to understand. Which is why I had DH help him last night.
I do need to find out what is holding him back because regardless of being fobbed off over & over again he clearly has a learning difficulty. His new teacher can see what I am talking about but has not offered much yet.
We have an appointment on Monday to get the ball rolling. I had the ball rolling in NSW too but it seemed to just hit a wall and bounce back with no answers/help. So now to learn that not only is he struggling with what he is doing now for yr 3, its compounded even more by the fact most of it he should have done already in yr 2.
