[quote=Anonymous]The problem with the public schools is that if an ADHD kid can't handle the extra writing and workload then they simply get pushed down to the easier general ed courses. An ADHD kid may have the understanding and IQ to handle the material but if they can't produce the same quantity they don't get an opportunity to work at an appropriate academic level. Since meds are not 24/7 and most kids have dosages that get them through the class day, homework can be a nightmare. It not only takes them longer but they are coming off the medication. [/quote]
