[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Dude what? First of all, the fact that some of these kids can get high grades doing the bare minimum doesn’t make them more “academically advanced” than my kid, it means they don’t have a learning difference that makes things 100x harder. Second, I wasn’t wishing academic calamity on anyone. Reread, then take several seats. [/quote]

You're still doing it. Asking people to treat your kid as superior. [/quote]
