i crapped on my first quiz for pre cal... here i was all confident and i totally blew it... twice.. smh... learning online by myself is harder than i thought.. i have to make more notes.. i have to decide what i need to note about.. since i am like basically my own instructor.. goodness gracious aaaaaaaaahhhhh..
i never was a problem child and my 5 yr old is acting up in school. he is a boy and he has had some rough patches with mom and dad separating and him having a speech development problem early on, but he can talk and understand now except he wants to be a bully, a day dreamer and a defiant little .... aaaagh, he doesnt want to do his work in class and has been coming home with red check marks meaning he misbehaved and i dont know what else to do. he has been grounded and gradma weekend is over until he brings me some green "good boy" mark. but then i dont know if i am being too hard on him or too soft.... another big problem he has is that he doesnt complete his work on a timely manner because he rather be day dreaming or trying to disrupt the other children's study time... what to do? what to do? the sorry excuse of a dad that he has doesnt care to talk to him about his behaviour..... anyone else with the same problem at one point?
on a side note my wonderful mother might have committed fraud with my siblings and my birth certificates so i dont know if i was born in the usa or in mx and its a whole mix up and she is a compulsive liar so i dont know what or whom to believe anymore... there are special investigations under way because obviously that would be a big no, no.. and that would mean my whole life has been a lie... i really want to be a u.s. citizen but i hope this doesnt turn into an ugly nightmare where i lose all of what is mine right now.... ugh... feeling crabby

Do not let anyone talk/bully you into dosing him with drugs for ADD. It's possible he's just not ready for school and classes. If it's possible, take him out of school for another year. Teach him at home, as much as he can learn. Take him to museums and stuff like that. Take him _anywhere_ that can be a learning/enrichment experience. That includes concerts, all kinds of music.
http://www.mercola.com is very good. Sign up for his free newsletter and search his site for ADD.
Finally, remember, he's a boy. He needs an older male to do guy stuff with. Someone you trust, a couple of times a week.
I don't know how big El Paso is, but there may be a support group for single mothers with boys. There's most probably such a group online. Could be a good resource for you.
Good luck!
