[quote=Anonymous]Does she have a therapist? Is she properly medicated?

It seems you are fighting this battle on two fronts. She has a disability and she isn’t motivated (which I recognize is sometimes ADHD). She may be overwhelmed with what she needs to do to be successful. She hasn’t had the scaffolding set up to make the jump from special needs MS to mainstream HS, which is often an adjustment for “typical” learners.

I recommend going over her homework/classwork with her each night. Compliance is tied with phone or social time ect.

I’d be surprised if she is embarrassed about taking extra time, because it is sooooo common these days in the classroom. I would be willing to bet there are multiple kids that need this same accommodation in each of her classes. (I have a ADHD senior). If she’s rushing, I point to a lack of motivation or medication not working properly.

Some kids aren’t into school or aren’t mature enough, which is okay. But obviously, failing is not. Does she want to spend her summers in school retaking classes? [/quote]
