I hope there is a solution. Truly.
I teach high school math, and a fellow landed in my Pre-Algebra class that can't even do basic addition and subtraction. I'm talking like 27 + 39.
He must have been just pushed on through his younger grades. It is so sad.

If this child is that far behind, I'm assuming (since your question did not have specific information) that he has an IEP. If nothing is working after trying to implement the IEP, it might be possible that the child study team has not honed in on the problem. The parents can request that the school district pay for an independent assessment to try to find the root of the problem. Unfortunately, unless you are the parent, there is not much more you can do. If you are the parent, ask for an independent educational eval. Also, evaluate whether this school has the program that is right for the child. If the district cannot provide the right program or environment for this child, they are required by law to send the child to a program that does meet his needs, even if this program is out of state. For more information about this, I would suggest that you conctact your local educational advocacy group. Good luck!

I wish you had been more specific with your question....Is the problem cognitive, behavioral, a learning disability? How old is the child? How involved are the parents? Can the child perceive that s\he has a problem? Is the kid bored or completely clueless? When you say you've tried everything what does that consist of? I'd like to help but I need more info....
