[quote=Anonymous]"I maintain that it is a HS age child's own responsibility to keep track of his grades. The student knew that he missed assignments. He also knew that those missed assignments would receive a 0% score. The student knew how the grades would be calculated (weighting is in the syllabus). The teacher does not have an obligation to continually 'remind' a disinterested pupil." Said the parent who knows NOTHING about ADHD and disorganization. Having lived through it, I say get the kid some help! If he had dyslexia you would get help, if he needed glasses you would get them, ADHD and the disorganization that prevents kids from turning stuff in is the same: get him an executive function coach (ask his school counselor for a name, google, and/or ask friends). He has to learn how to do this, and it's hard for kids with ADHD. I have 2 with and 1 without, and the differences are mindblowing.[/quote]
