[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids with ADHD can absolutely be in college and shouldn’t be discriminated against. But they are not usually the most steady students. Their grades typically bounce up and down, as medication and therapy are not silver bullets. They need to be adjusted and attention is hard to sustain over a long period of time, especially in subjects of little sustained interest to the student. For these reasons my DC with anxiety and ADHD is interested in schools with a quarter system and fewer core classes — because he will have a harder time with classes unrelated to his major. I’m skeptical of anyone who discovers ADHD late, and makes an instant turnaround upon diagnosis. It just doesn’t work this way. [/quote] Agree. My child is still in 8th and I am afraid will struggle with all unnecessary non-technical courses. I agree quarter system is better - less classes per quarter, less material on finals - much easier to manage.[/quote]
