[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP. Adding to this, the son who is struggling now has adhd and autism. His college-aged brother (who has adhd) struggled in high school with executive functioning. Super intelligent but just could not navigate the 8 different ways teachers communicated. I was really worried about college for him. Go figure, getting a syllabus at the start of the semester that he could use to input due dates, tests, etc into his Google calendar worked well for him. Wish high school could figure that out.[/quote]

I wish I could plan for a semester at a time. I don’t have the freedom of a college professor, however. I have to accommodate last-minute curriculum changes, schedule changes, etc. I also have to accommodate a variety of different learning styles in my classroom, often altering one lesson 3-4 ways to meet accommodations. I also have to change schedules for retakes and rewrites. I may have 10-12% if a class out at any time, as well, which also affects my scheduling.

My child is in college. She’s responsible for keeping up with the syllabus. Where I work, I’m responsible for making sure over 100+ students keep up. See the difference? I have to make frequent changes, so any planning over a week out tends to be wasted time.

I would love to “figure it out,” but the restrictions if my job just don’t allow for it. Would your son do well if I had to post revised dates 2 times a week?[/quote]
