[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 110875"] Honestly...and I'm going to get in trouble here....but when difficult child's anxiety was elevated and the teachers wouldn't budge on the reading log, I made it up. At the end of the 6th grade she was reading at mid-ninth grade level. I've never worried about her reading skills. And after school was just too much for her. She needed to come back to earth after holding all of that anxiety in all day. She read on the weekends. A lot. She was getting it in, just not the way the teachers wanted it. So, I fudged the log. *shrugs* They also weren't picky about what they read, though, just that they read. I think it's ridiculous how picky they are being at your school. ETA: I'm not encouraging you to fudge homework assignments. However, the reading logs themselves became a huge source of anxiety with my difficult child. At first if she didn't read, I didn't fill them out. Then she got put on yellow for having missing assignments (they used the color code behavior system). That meant a note came home that I had to sign. Well, with a kid that has super-high anxiety, being on yellow is just one step above murder. And one day she made it to orange because she was already on yellow and I forgot to sign the note. I thought she was going to fall apart. Homework itself took a minimum of 2 hours a night to do because she couldn't focus. by the way, this was the 3rd grade. And that was all anxiety...not ADHD. The school wouldn't work with me at all, so I did what I had to do. [/QUOTE]
