[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get where you’re coming from OP. My DD is also a freshman with ADHD and she busts her butt for B’s. She has some friends who do the bare minimum and pull much higher grades, and it really bums her out. I always try to reward her effort and remind her that some of the kids who don’t have to lift a finger get a rude awakening in college when they actually have to study and discover they don’t know how. But it’s hard.[/quote] You have to put down future versions of her friends to make her feel better? How about using it as a teacheable moment that all people are different in their abilities and it's OK. Wishing calamity on more academically advanced kids is not OK.[/quote]
