The Boy had his IEP today...
Jan. 8th, 2008 01:11 pm...and I have to say I am both proud and frustrated.
I am proud over the way he has improved over the year, most notably with his writing. A year ago, his writing was mediocre at best. Lots of unconventional formatting and gimmicks to get his point across and his papers were not that readable.
Today, his teacher showed me his Freshman Project that he's working on, which is still definitely a draft, but the improvement to his skills are easily visible none the less. The first paragraph was easy to read; it flowed well, and had a very distinctive voice to it. Certainly, the teacher had marked up his paper something fierce, but it was far above where he had been.
The frustration comes from the continued lack of effort on his part for learning the boring, rote skills of math, and by that, I mean the fact he doesn't do his homework. *sigh*
It is a work in progress and progress is happening, but I know he can do so much more.
