[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sympathetic.  School has a lot of idiocy that isn’t present in [b]real life, where substance matters a lot and form matters only a little. [/b] It’s why a lot of people with ADHD do better in the real world than they do in school.

That said, he needs to learn to follow directions.  His 504 should have something in it where teachers assist him in this a bit.  There are also ways to teach that kind of stufff.  An executive function tutor could help.

And I agree that units matter in math.  12 feet or 12 inches is a big difference.[/quote]

I hope my doctors don't take this attitude.  I hope my lawyer and accountant don't, either.

[b]As another poster noted, though, the world needs ditch diggers, though.  [/b]SOME careers in "real life" are more form over substance, but I hope my own kid doesn't end up on one of those paths.  OP shouldn't handicap her child at this point in the game.[/quote]

:roll:

Are you really suggesting that the OP's kid is destined to become a ditch digger because he misread the instructions on a Spanish test at the beginning of sixth grade? What is he, like 11 or 12? And you're already predicting that he is doomed?

This website, I swear. It's an abomination. [/quote]
