[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 116745, member: 3072"] Well, it does look like the SS teacher and Science teacher may think that he can do more than he's capable of. If he's really struggling in these two subjects, is there anyway that during study hall, he can be working with someone to help him catch up or make sure he's understanding what he's supposed to be learning? I might put a call in to the school to see what accomodations could be made for him to help him learn better. Expecting the teachers to help him a bit is reasonable but if they have to spend more time helping him and it disrupts the flow of learning for the other students, he may need a different placement for certain classes. I realize that homework is a big part of the grade but if he's really having memory issues, its not fair for anyone to expect him to do what he can't do. It would be like trying to tell a blind person that if they try hard enough, they could see. Has he had a neuropsychological exam? That would be a good test of his working memory. My difficult child is quite poor in that area and used to leave a lot of stuff at school that needed to come home and vice versa. And sure, there may be some manipulating going on on his part. Its sometimes hard to guage how much isn't it? I'm always trying to figure that one out with my difficult child too. [/QUOTE]
