Should I make my teen pay for his tutoring

[Anonymous]

I have a tween with adhd. I wound never make her pay for tutoring or therapy or anything.
I do however make her maintain B or above in grade book to use her phone midweek. So sometimes there is a C or D assignment but if enough As and Bs the average is still A/B which I’m good with.
She is medicated now.

My personal opinion is that extra time is the easy go to accommodation for adhd but it’s not actually helpful. She needs to be reminded verbally before a test to take her time otherwise she rushes , skips questions, etc.
your son may be like this.

He should not pay for tutoring.

He probably needs medication, a different school, and a more understanding set of parents.

How does he feel about school in general? My DS has ADHD and was not really interested in most academic subjects. So he took easier classes in subjects that didnt hold his interest and harder classes in those that did. The result was a kid who wasn't stressed about school, didnt need to study much, didnt have mountains of homework, didnt need tutors, and got more As and Bs. You have to know your kid! Mine was kind of "lax-a-dazzical" in some areas so he took that into account when selecting classes. It wasn't the end of the world to not take AP everything - he took 5 or so.

He's getting a second masters degree now and really enjoys the ability to hyperfocus on what matters to him academically. He never would have gotten here if we had bogged him down with tough classes he didnt want, tutors, etc, when he was 15 or 16. He wasn't ready for the rigor that some of his classmates thrived on and we didnt try to force that on him.

How does he get an F at a private school

No more lax until his grades are up.

If the kid needs tutoring in English, it’s likely not his fault.

“Lax-a-dazzical?” Really?
