[QUOTE="vja4Him, post: 362555"] Is it fair to give my son only partial credit for his late assignments? My son has a serious problem with his ADHD -- forgetting all the time, losing stuff, misplacing things, paying attention, focusing, organization .... I think that part of our strategic plan for accommodations should include giving my son full credit, at least for some or most of his late assignments, due to his serious problem with his ADHD. The Resource Specialist at the meeting we had two days ago disagrees. He kept telling me that partial credit is better than nothing. Even if my gets Fs for all of his late work, at least he gets some credit ... !!! I don't agree, and I made it clear, but they wouldn't budge an inch. I've been reading various articles regarding Special Education, and have read that part of the 504 Plan/IEP strategies could include allowing students extra time for completing assignments and also allowing for full credit or at least passing grades. Does anyone have experience with this issue? What are your feelings regarding only partial credit (only 50% or less) for late assignments? [/QUOTE]
