[quote=Anonymous]Before everyone starts attacking me, let me explain the situation.  My daughter who is in 4th grade has adhd.  She is above grade level in reading and makes good grades, but only because I spend A LOT of time supplementing her at home.  She has issues with spelling and math that need to be remediated.  This year, she is given a weekly spelling test, which we spend a great deal of time studying for, but honestly the word patterns don't make a lot of sense and I would rather, put her on another spelling program that would help her with basics she doesn't have.  She is also required to spend four nights a week on a math website, which is a decent website, but personally I have found ways of supplementing her that are even better.  She has one more year before she starts middle school, and I have seriously considered homeschooling her next year, except I do feel that she benefits from going to school.  
I have absolutely no intention of making this request once she hits middle school, basically I feel that at this age, she benefits more from being supplemented by me, than from doing the homework her teacher assigns, and before I decide to take her out school, I want to know if this is even an option.
