Peyton's Test Results

Well we finally received Peyton's report from the Child Psychologist today. Basically I paid him $450 to tell me that I am a horrible mother and that I have screwed him up the past three years by homeschooling him. His summary:

"Peyton demonstrated an unusual pattern of scores; he demonstrated intellectual functioning that was solidly within the Average range, and demonstrated specific learning disabilities in all academic areas. This pattern is unusual because typically a child who is learning disabled will have specific learning problems in such areas as reading or math. given that he is homeschooled, his scores on the current testing are complicated in terms of interpretation. There is no way for the examiner to determine that he has received adequate academic instruction by a certified teacher. In general, he would benefit from special education assistance by someone who was certified in special education in order to enhance the possibility that he will develop progressively."
