[quote=Anonymous]OP: commiseration. I don't know if this is offered at your kid's schooling level, but high school public schools can offer "instructional studies" which provide a class period in lieu of an elective. The class gets a grade and helps kids learn executive functioning skills among other goals identified in the kid's IEP or 504. It sounds like you might want to push for an IEP. We have a kid in a "flipped" math class -- with a lot of apps and daily videos to watch at home and then "practice" the math in class the next day. It's a nightmare for our kid, who is a teen and we suspect ASD but not (yet) diagnosed. Definitely kids like mine with ADHD and other learning disorders struggle with online learning. DC is also dyslexic and the math teacher's handwriting in the videos to watch at home is atrocious. If I could go back to full paper and pencil schooling, I would in a heart beat. 
Good luck and keep pushing that school. If you can swing it, a private for middle and high school would be ideal. I wish we had. [/quote]
