[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EF challenges during GDS MS can be managed (and supported externally). At the upper school level a student will struggle at GDS. They offer no scaffolding, have hours of homework and the school environment can be described as chaotic. This is not the environment that most bright ADHD students thrive in. OP pick the environment that your adolescent needs to thrive. Set your ego aside.[/quote] [b]This is the problem. They say they’re promoting independence but it’s actually just chaos. So disappointing. Wish I knew that.[/b] [/quote] Can you elaborate on that? Curious as someone who was considering GDS HS for kiddo[/quote] That has not been our experience in the GDS HS for my ADHD kid. We were lukewarm on the MS, but love the HS. There is lots of support available, but the student has to seek it out. Likewise, teachers are happy to communicate with parents, but expect you to initiate.[/quote]
