Ace of Grades - Vicky's Tutoring Service

Thank you to the person who donated books to our library. Warms my heart, so kind!

Rest In Peace Lacey and Kona. Thank you for helping with tutoring. You were loved by many students, friends, and family. We were lucky to have you in our lives. ❤️🌹

Truth!

🤣

Thank you to all the parents reaching out to me for tutoring. I know what a challenging time this is for students. After many years of working with fantastic families, I decided to retire in May. I had the best job ever! Didn’t even feel like work honestly. I really value the bonds formed with the kids and families over the years.

When you have a neurotypical child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditions organizations and clubs.

But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their tremendous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike.

This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness.

For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognize their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to be kind and accepting of ALL people.

Recognize that the "playing field" is not always a level surface.

Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value enough. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted!!

If you choose, please copy and paste this in honor of all children who are deemed "different". Our world would be far less beautiful without them.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

True? 😂😂😂

Cute idea. Who knew pop tarts were better than gingerbread or Graham crackers for building holiday houses?

Pretty irresistible trick-or-treaters! Really brought a lot of joy to my front porch. Lacey was not afraid of this tribe. Happy Halloween!
