[quote=Anonymous]I am one of this parents that is sooooo tired of these blow-off classes being taken so seriously!!!  This should be a time for some learning and also some time for "telling some funny stories."  I am not saying that they should get to the point of being completely disruptive but to quote another poster--  Home Ec is not Russian Lit.

For my ADHD daughter it was 6th grade typing.  MAN!  At one point my daughter had an 18 in the class. 18 out of 100?!?!  ADHD and less than great small motor skills and already a basic knowledge of typing and it was pure torture.  She had all A grades in her all honors (real) classes and then the typing debacle.  She had to do in before school, waste multiple hours from her study hall block etc. to get up to a C.  (It didn't help that the other typing teacher was super-nice and understanding and all of the kids in that class ENJOYED the class while all of the kids HATED the typing teacher my daughter had.)  BLECH.  Wish there were better ways to get rid of crappy teachers--  especially in these non-academic classes.[/quote]
