[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 5416, member: 1967"] dreamer ~ You keep bringing up your son and his problems and what your school does or does not do. My school district is very proactive in helping it's special education students so we cannot compare it to yours. But I do not think being in Special Education absolves students of all responsibility in their own education. As Martie pointed out, it really depends on the individual student. We should be doing everything we can to make them self-sufficient and holding them responsible for their own actions when possible. I am looking for practical suggestions for resolving this situation. This student is ADHD but I believe is capable of bringing prepared notes home. He is on the school football team and has a learner's permit so he is high functioning when he wants to be. I at least want to give it a try before deciding that he can not do it. Sometimes I worry that by labeling a child as "Special Education" both teachers and parents fall into the trap of expecting less of them then they are capable of which is just as crippling as expecting too much in the long run. I'll get off my soapbox now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the notes made it home today. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
