Make it stop make it stop

Every time I let Justin near the piano I am reminded of why we don't do this any more. I want to beat my head against the wall. He has no sense of rhythm whatsoever, no sense of pitch, almost no ability to play more than three bars at a time of even the simplest music. Three years he's been slogging at this, and has almost nothing whatsoever to show for it. Like French; three years of trying to memorize vocabulary, and he does not know the difference between "homme" and "femme."

I think he would do OK in regular school, despite being slow to read, because he's very bright and articulate and very good at math. But then I think of the sheer amount of rote memorization required in regular school - not to mention real life - and I have no idea how he's going to cope. I've got him on another waiting list to see a psychologist, as the previous one's best diagnosis and advice (after $1300 worth of testing) was "his long-term memory is incredibly poor; you'll just have to repeat material."

OMG make it stop. He's trying so, so, so hard, and it's just simply foreign to him.
