[quote=Anonymous]DS is twice exceptional (high IQ with disabilities). All these years, he's had progressive teachers who understood that he had his place in advanced courses, and who were willing to follow his accommodations plan. But this year as a senior, he has an old school, strict AP Calc teacher hailing from an Asian country (we are Asian too) who is very annoyed at having him in his class. He tells off DS for not listening to his rapid-fire lecture, not following directions, etc, when these issues are part of his ADHD and one of his accommodation is to have content repeated to him. DS needs to skip lunch to go to his office hours, which doesn't help with his afternoon focus. I tell DS he'll probably come across college profs or others just like this guy, and that he has an opportunity to advocate for himself and try to make do, but it's not pleasant. [/quote]
