Your son won't do what he must do. He drives me crazy, yes it's true! He will stall and squirm and hum, and leave all of his work undone. He dreams and will not pay attention, have you considered medication? With other kids he does not play, he is alone much of the day. Something does not seem quite right, because I know he must be bright. He seems to learn, despite the rest, but the work is not his best. He is disruptive, yes it's true. He just won't do what he must do! Yes, teacher, I can really see, how frustrating all this must be, A child who does not meet the norm, a child whose mold won't fit the form. I've had him tested on WISC-III, by your approved test agency. He scores far higher than the mean, there's more to this that can be seen. So help us, help us find the way, to teach this child best if we may. He is not like the rest you see, he acts and thinks far differently.
