[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a junior son with ADHD and autism, who is in a combination of team taught classes as well as IB classes. The inconsistency in the use of Schoology has been a literal nightmare for him. Every single teacher uses it differently. Of his seven classes,  I would say three consistently put things on the calendar, some teachers do the paper calendar schedule, while others just “tell” the kids when test or quizzes are coming. It is impossible to navigate and I bring this up every single IEP meeting. He is pretty much surviving high school by playing constant catch up on sis with a tutor. We hired the tutor simply because we were having so many negative interactions with our child about missing school work that it was having a great impact on our overall relationship.   [/quote]

I have a child with ADHD and agree it's chaos and awful for all kids but especially those with EF issues. What my DD does is every Monday she goes to EACH teacher and asks when the next tests are coming up. EVERY Monday. Sometimes that teacher has none. Oftentimes they end up telling her about 3-4 coming up. It's insane. Not sure what the other kids in the class are doing but without asking, DD would not know. She told me often times kids grumble when tests are given because the kids say they had no idea. DD did because she asks every week. Not sure how writing this info down for DD or telling it to my DD is easier than posting it on Schoology. I had hoped she'd annoy them enough that they'd start posting it somewhere, but nope! This is 10th grade all honors and 1 AP class. [/quote]

Teachers mention upcoming tests ALL the time with multiple reminders. The students don’t listen/pay attention. It’s been a problem for the last few decades. Kids are always “shocked” that there is a quiz or test even when it’s been written in the board for a week.[/quote]
