[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are letting your daughter off too easily. She knew she wasn't supposed to use that calculator which is why she showed it to the teacher. She just expected she would get special treatment and that the rules did not apply to her. Hmm wonder why that is?[/quote]

You know that how?

My sons teacher said, "one more word and you will sit in the hallway." he said one more word because he wanted to sit in the hallway. That is how his brain works.

He did not understand the problem. He does not understand idioms, sarcasm, etc.

I believe she thought using a calculator but not using all the functions was not wrong. It's logical to me.

They should just do a retest.[/quote]

As a parent of a child with an Aspergers diagnosis, I get where you are coming from. With that said, I would not ask for special treatment for things like the OP is talking about. That is how any child learns. He would need to learn that what the teacher says is what she means - use the right calculator. Only use the notes and not the book.

I don't agree with the peer panel deciding what happens to the OP's DD. But I think it's a disservice to push things under the wrong even though she very clearly broke the rules.

The school needs to be fully aware of her LD. They can't make accommodations or phrase or assign things in a way she'll understand if they are not fully aware with a clear plan you decide on as a team.

She broke the rules and needs to learn the consequences. Her teachers need to have a plan for presenting information in a way that will work for your DD from now on.[/quote]
