[QUOTE="DawnMM, post: 651737, member: 18813"] I am so sorry you had to deal with this. I hate when they blindside me like that. In the future you can politely excuse yourself from the meeting and then when the meeting is rescheduled you will know to tape record it (just tell them a few days ahead, they are not allowed to say no). It is okay to say you are either not prepared or you have a headache and will need to reschedule. Again, I am so sorry. You sound like you handled the situation okay even though it was so upsetting. AND, you are not responsible for making sure your child gets his HW done, he is in eighth grade. It matters not what his diagnoses' are. The school should be the ones to step up and make the HW happen. They can give modified assignments, a study period, or more help at school. Feel free to through his undone HW right back on them. What are THEY doing to help him get the HW done? Are they making him complete work at home that he didn't finish at school? That is not okay if he has ADHD. [/QUOTE]
