Tutoring?

Puck is beginning to have trouble in school and possibly falling behind.  I don't think I mentioned it previously because I hate the stigma that comes with the ADD and ADHe are going through the evaluation process for ADHD as there seems to indicate that could be part of the problem.  I really don't want to "medicate" and child that doesn't need it but honestly, I'm open to a lot more options than I was a few years ago.  I just sent our paperwork back to the pediatrician so who knows how long it will take to hear something.

I've been wondering if a tutoring center might be a good option.  I called Ku.mon today and got some information about their program and it sounds really good.  I know that a lot of you out there in blog land are teachers or former teachers.  Any advice here?  It's twice a week and there is a lot of homework but since he won't be able to play soccer this Spring, he's going to have plenty of time...

The teacher and I are becoming well acquainted.  She sent home a letter that said only a few of the students needed to have parent-teacher conferences.  Of course, my kid is one.  Why can't it just be freaking easy once in a while?

Sigh....

I feel the same way about meds, but when Jayce's autism, ADHD, and Tourette's started interfering so much with his life, we had to do something. We are currently trying a combo of adderall and intuniv. I see pros and cons to the meds.
