Education & Reference - 13 October 2006

I have a 7 year old that has problems understanding certain simple things; i.e., he has a hard time understanding tallies. He isn't ADHD or has ADD because he isn't hyperactive, he isn't dyslexic and he can sit still for a long time and read a book and tell you what he read almost word for word. You ask him questions regarding the book and he can tell you characters and what the story is all about. When in class he seems to get distracted and cannot complete his work. When he brings work home and I get a note from the teacher saying that he could not do the problem, I explain it to him one time and he does fine. But there are simple things like tallies, he doesn't seem to understand and when I think he does and does a few problems by himself he does fine but then ten minutes later I would give him the same problems and he acts like he doesn't know. Is this a retention problem and maybe he does better on a one-on-one level? What would be the solution. Serious answers please.

I'm reading this book and it is interesting, i'm half way done. It makes me wonder even more about the true history. Is this book really based on the truth?

*SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY*
My daughter has been at kindergarten for a month now, and she's been doing great. Even her teacher only a week ago described her as a "love" to have in her class.
Then all of a sudden, yesterday, my wife says the school called because our daughter had been crying non-stop for 45 minutes because her nose was stuffy (shes only had about 400 colds since she's born!) and my kid even told me later she felt there was "something wrong with her". So my wife took her home early yesterday.

This morning, the school called AGAIN, to say she;s been crying and that her stomach hurts now. My wife went and told her she's gotta stay and that she wasnt taking her home. Then my kid said that her THROAT hurt.

It all sounds like a crock! Has anyone experienced that with their kid? That after a month of not a single event, she's crying and wants to go home??
