[quote=Anonymous]OP: You need to talk to your child about how he is approaching his work. He needs to understand that rushing through tests leads to mistakes and leads to his not getting to do the work that is more challenging. You said he has ADHD. This could be part of the reason why he is not doing well on tests but that means you need to work with him to understand why he needs to not rush through the tests or work and make a lot of mistakes. It sounds like his ADHD is holding him back and that is something that you need to address so a parent and a part of his educational team. It sounds like you are working through the IEP/504 process right now. He will have the opportunity to take Math 7 Honors next year and Algebra in 8th grade. This will give him time to develop the work habits and skill set that will help him succeed. You probably want to have an honest conversation about medication.

Now is the time for you to address the medical issue that he has that is impacting his education. The sooner you do that, the better off he will be and the more likely he is going to end up in the classes that challenge him. Right now, he has sloppy work habits (rushing through tests, not double checking work, and making easy mistakes) that are holding him back. Those same mistakes are only going to compound as he gets older. I would focus a lot less on his being in Advanced Math and more on treating his ADHD. [/quote]
