Reply #41: I am none of those things, but I did write backwards,

as in perfect mirror writing, because the teacher told us to go to the opposite side of the page as the hand with our pencils. I'm left handed, so I did as instructed. Luckily, the same teacher figured out my problem and worked with me. They didn't have the ADD diagnosis or any awareness of that back then. I am sure I don't have it though. That teacher turned out to be a great teacher too. In that case, I'm glad she learned from her simple mistake and I learned how to write so people could read it without holding it up to a mirror.

It sounds like your grandson is getting shafted in school. He should have long since learned his ABC's and his numbers. I'd recommend taking that problem to the school board. That teacher needs to be sent back to Sunday school and a new teacher needs to come in and teach him. Better yet, it sounds like he'd be better off in plain old public school. If his mother won't do that, maybe you could recommend another school so he can begin learning his basics.
