[quote=Anonymous]I have a severely inattentive ADHD teen. A couple of things here:

1. I'm a scientist. Units in math and science are CRITICAL. The teacher could very well have given no points at all.

The Spanish teacher was harsh, but within her rights, since this was all about the Spanish.

However, losing points for not coloring the border is ridiculous and you should contact the teacher for clarification, because he or she is essentially punishing the students for not following petty esthetic directions instead of focusing on what really matters, which is the poem.

2. Does your child have a 504 or IEP? My son has had an IEP since K, and I found that most teachers tended to give him the benefit of the doubt until high school. He never lost points for esthetic reasons! On the other hand, I did not complain about losing points for not answering academic questions. In high school, if you don't answer the question exactly, you don't get the points. Middle school is a good time to learn this.
