homeschool resources for middle schooler with dyslexia & memory problems

[cookderosa]

I'll write more later- but testing in NC is not what you think. I'm in NC, I'm even a standardized testing proctor- you don't need to worry about this at all, in fact, on this one issue alone I would say you can save her mental health by stopping the testing. What the hell is a test for?? Seriously, what does a test show? You can do a standardized test with her at home online for about $25 or you can go through the steps of having one administered- but HERE IS WHERE IT DIFFERS. The results don't matter! NC doesn't require results, just that you test. So, if you really want to do something phenomenal for her, pull her out of school, administer her exam, and when the results come- let her put them through the paper shredder. Don't even open them. Don't peek. Just shred. Give her this power and you'll see a changed child.

EDIT to add- I can send you names of tests you can do at home or set you up with someone in your area to administer a test. I'm not sure where you are, but if you're anywhere near Charlotte, we can meet for coffee.
