[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remote learning was an exercise in executive functioning not really learning. This s why so many NT and compliant kids had straight As. My non ADHD kid’s lowest grade was 98% in one semester. My ADHD kid barely ended up with all 90-88% and it was a constant battle to catch up on work. Other kids hit depression and just a wall in terms of motivation.

OP you could have your child focus on reflecting why he did poorly in remote and what skills he’s learned to address it if it comes up in the future. This could be picky a subject outside of school to study independently, executive functioning coaching or classes, mindfulness and exercise to help address depression etc etc. people grow and learn when they struggle. Privates don’t want to deal with the struggle but if you can show he’s overcome it himself he has a lot to offer. [/quote]

The ability to study and juggle assignments in general is a test of executive functioning. It’s a required skill at a school that has expectations of homework, expected reading, and longer term projects, and most private high schools have those things.[/quote]
