My son who has been failing 5th grade and struggling the whole year... just got his test results from end of level testing, He scored in the top 10% in the nation in Science, and Reading. I was so happy I didnt know if I should laugh or cry.
Im not trying to brag, Im just so happy I wanted to scream from the roof. This last year has been a real struggle for our whole family. He was just diagnosed 03/01/06 with AS and he hates school. When I got the reports I did a double take to check and make sure he didnt bring home the wrong results LOL!!

Wow, congratulations. That's great! I hope there are programs in the school where he can use his potential and develop his abilities at his own pace.

You've just inspired me to go upstairs and do some reading with my son.

I promised myself I'd give it a miss today (because it's grey outside and I can't be bothered) but I'll go and do it because today may make some difference and he might end up like your son!

Well done!

Enjoy your moment!

Hope there are many more!
