[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you everyone. In terms of "not wanting to go down that road," what I mean is that I don't want to lawyer up and force the issue. We have a letter on file from a medical specialist that explains the condition and requests certain accommodations (pretty common accommodations that other kids have in place (e.g., extra time for hand-written tests). We learned that the accommodations weren't in place, and then we went teacher by teacher. Though it takes some persistence, the school ultimately will go by the letter, but what I want is some compassion. My kid is more than capable of the academic load, and he welcomes it, on a good day. I'm trying to find a place, however, that will let me say "you know what, today was a bad day" and let him turn in homework a day late. Maybe that doesn't exist? He works so hard and he does his best to get work done in advance in case he has a bad day, but it isn't always possible. Because he doesn't look sick, the school doesn't get that when he has a bad day, there is nothing he can do but go to sleep. [/quote]
