I would have that corrected. I haven't always had more minor things corrected, but we homeschool and aren't doing much more in the way of eval's. Not only will the school read it, but any evaluation you do in future years will refer...

I just wanted to say to the mom whose ped was recommending going off miralax for an xray--you might want to research either a nuclear transist study or a Sitz marker study--in these you swallow something (plastic rings for the latter,...
