Is He a Kinesthetic Learner? - 02/09/04 10:13 AM
Hi everyone - can you give some feedback on this reader's question?
I am the Mom of three, two boys 13 and 11, and our princess just 1.
My 11 year old has been in Learning Support for 5 years, he is now in 5th grade and soon will be off to middle school. Every other year the school wants to do either a "Conner's Scale" or "BASC" to try and prove that my son has ADD/ADHD. However, every time they test him it disproves he has ADD/ADHD.
He has been in "Regular Class" for 5 months now and his latest report card show him as a "B" student with exception to Math he received a "C". The teachers complain that he does focus they say he is a quiet child but he just can't seem to work at a "normal" pace.
They are puzzled how he get an "A" on all his tests when he doesn't seem to tow the line on his class work.
Could it be that he is a Kinesthic Learner? If so then do you have any suggestions to what I should do to work with the teachers?
