[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553547, member: 11791"] JJJ - I don't know about your school, but here... (in the dinosaur of all hinderlands for most forms of help) if a student is pulling marks consistently at least two grades lower on tests than on assignments, they automatically qualify for alternative-format exams. There's a range on these accommodations... from scribe and oral exam, to multiple choice and possible answer list, all the way down to "no exam" (i.e. additional homework in lieu of exams). For Piglet, the gap is just too big. There IS something going on, and yes, she needs help. To me, the answer isn't 4-5 hours of homework a night and not having any life at all... but that's our family's take on things. There is a balance necessary for good mental health... but that doesn't mean something going on every single night, either. The most we've done is one music-related and one physical-related scheduled activity per week (per child). [/QUOTE]
