Mine do this both on computer and through Xbox... I'm always hearing disembodied voices coming through the gameroom speakers and realize it's one of their online friends.

But wouldn't giant beyonce try to eat giant jiminy?

My just turned 11yo son has been on vyvanse since he was 8yo. He was not losing weight, simply not gaining. We added 2mg intuniv at night and have lowered his vyvanse dosage from 40 to 20 mg. It's actually working better than vyvanse alone. AND he's gained weight (6 lbs in one month), filled out (can't see his ribs anymore) and is growing!

something we used when i taught ps to help the kids remember... I sing today. I sang yesterday. I have sung many times in the past. every week we'd do a few of those tricky verb forms using the same pattern sentences.

My name is very easy, only three letters. For 48 years now, my aunt, the sweetest, most generous woman in the world, puts an e on the end. (Kaye instead of Kay) it's just a family joke now, as is the fact that if the birthday cards are on time instead of a week late, it's a miracle. For years I only got belated birthday cards with my name spelled wrong! And my grandmother would spell my brother's name wrong. Brain instead of Brian. But he's a CPA so it turned out to be pretty accurate! In other words, it is totally possible for really nice well-meaning people to spell names incorrectly, over and over and over and over.

Ragweed has been kicking my butt for the past three weeks, marathon sneezing sessions, sinus headaches, inability to breathe through the nose, you name it. I've been popping Claritin, doing nasal sprays, taking Benadryl, etc. this morning dh informs me he has a little sinus pressure and a tickle in his throat. :glare: If he asks me to make him a dr appt, I may be a widow very soon.

You can get all three levels of HOE as apple apps, about $4 each. Includes a lesson video and all the exercises from the regular program. (I also have that) doesn't have the verbal problems but maybe those will be coming later.

we just got galaxy s2s because they were buy one get one free with the upgrade. LOVE!!!!!! I would probably love the s3 buy wasn't willing to pay the extra. :D

:iagree: Exactly the situation here except that we knew ours had a language delay (at age 5, he tested at 2.5 - 3 year old) and ds's birthday is july 26.

Nothing at all to do. No reporting, no notification, no testing, no portfolios. Nada. Zilch. Zero. It's wonderful.

Also, the position of the straps can affect leakage so have the coach show him to correct way to wear the straps.

Speedo vanquisher junior. DS 12 has only just now moved up from these to adult size. Also, be sure they're tight enough. If they aren't hard to pull off, they're probably too loose. He could ask his coach to check the fit.

the star is simply the opposite of x so if x is a negative number, then it's opposite would be positive.

But the different goals are based on how the subgroups are already scoring. You want every subgroup to make progress until, hopefully, the differences in passing rates are negligible. If 40% of blacks are passing (totally random #), it doesn't make sense to set their goal at 92%. It will ake more than one year to make up that gap. Also, if Asian students are already at a 90% pass rate (again, random #) it wouldn't make sense to set their goal lower than what they're already at. The intent is to see progress across all subgroups, eventually erasing those gaps. Also, someone else mentioned a school not passing if one out of only three students in a subgroup didn't pass the test. In Texas, which I believe was the state mentioned, there is a cutoff. When I was teaching, it was five. If your school had fewer than five students in a subgroup, that subgroups scores were not broken out for analysis.

The passing %s listed aren't for a student to pass. For example, Asian students don't have to score a 92% in order to pass the test. Passing score is still the same for all students. The %s are for the subgroup. For a SCHOOL to get a passing score, 92% of their Asian students must pass the test. They're trying to set more incremental goals for each subgroup that take into account the subgroup's starting point, instead of the NCLB's blanket 100%. Clear as mud now? This is one of those times where years spent speaking edu-speak comes in handy.

Cash in hand is pretty standard when appealing a decision like that. At swim meets, you have to pay the appeal fee up front and it's non refundable. Makes people think before appealing every little call they don't like.

He's a 7 year old lab mix we got at the animal shelter. Wonderful kid dog but hates vets and other grownups he hasn't accepted into his pack.

When we were invaded by ticks a few years ago, this was the only thing that worked! Luckily Lyme is not usually a problem around here.

I have one with ADHD and very poor mpulse control. I could see him doing something like this now at age 10. And I could see myself explaining, not excusing, his behavior by referencing the ADHD. Fact is, there are lots of behaviors we are working on constantly but progress is very slow and incremental even with medication. We don't know from what the OP said, and the other mom has no obligation to let the OP know, exactly what she may be doing at home to try to correct this behavior. With mine, any corrections done in public cause a major meltdown so i handle all that privately. I guess some people could come to the conclusion that he never gets corrected, but they would be wrong. Since she is ok with the emptying of pockets, it doesn't sound like she is one of those "don't you dare be mean to my poor darling" mommas.

I so want a Bazinga shirt!

You need to add a clause to the roommate agreement. :D

Since adding the intuniv and decreasing the vyvanse, he's been eating just about anything I put in front of him. He gained more weight in one month than he did in previous 18 months combined! He takes it at bedtime so there's the added bonus of helping him get to sleep. Really important as he's prone to insomnia. When I was discussing the possibility of changing up his meds with the nurse, she did mention that they have very few kids who take just the intuniv. Most still require a stimulant med as well.

We first went to 1mg intuniv at bedtime and reduced vyvanse to 30mg. In ONE month, he went from 56 lbs to 62 lbs. For the last 2 weeks, we've done 2mg intuniv and vyvanse 20mg. Still working great! Before, when coming off the vyvanse, it was like he was a top being wound up. By bedtime, all h*ll could break loose. Now it's just a gradual increase. I really can't pinpoint the time the vyvanse wears off like I could before.

We're doing very well on a vyvanse/intuniv combo right now. He was on vyvanse alone but was not eating/gaining weight and the crash in the evenings was horrible. After adding the intuniv, we've been able to reduce the vyvanse from 40mg to 20mg and no crash! or at least a slow slide instead of a crash! :D
