[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 551969, member: 11791"] I didn't give up... I just fought for [I]school[/I] to own the problem rather than me. It took some creative work, and a flexible schedule - and a guidance counsellor willing to commit to 4 years of hand-coding his schedule. I fight to make sure the accommodations and interventions are in place. I have enough on my plate. When we forced the school issue back to school - we've ended up further ahead. Instead of a drop-out, I have a kid who is looking at adding harder classes that he doesn't have to take... even if it slows his schedule down again. He's just starting to enjoy the learning process. And... if he can learn how to learn, and how to navigate the education system (because post-secondary is still part of "the system")... he WILL get an education. The rest of the picture - including homework - is just "knowledge", not "skills". Learning to love learning is worth more than a report card full of A-level marks and accolades. [/QUOTE]
