We have experienced our first case of struggling at school. Izzy is having a tough time staying focused and following directions. She also has a confidence issue. I’m not convinced any of this would be happening in a different school, but I guess that’s why its hard to get into this one. We are going to get her a tutor, we’re also going to work more with her at home. Hopefully she’ll let us. That said, her drawing continues to impress. It’s getting better and better, and she’s not getting any lessons, she just draws herself.
Joseph also struggled at the school. He had arguably his first fit with me dropping him off for his admissions test (which is a red flag). He also botched the cutting and rhyming. We got home and saw the issue with the cutting, fixed that. Then we started practicing rhyming, fixed that. It’s funny because we practiced with Izzy, but we didn’t practice at all with Joe. His test scores were through the roof though, so that’s helping us get another round in the future to hopefully avoid having to do a year of JK.
