How low are your expectations?

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone else has this dilemma.

My ds, 15, dx'ed 3 years ago, AS/ADD, has an IQ of around 125 and is a bright

kid without a lot of behaviour issues. Although he " hates' school, he seems

happy enough to go each day and has a few friends.

Despite the best efforts of teachers and other IEP members, his gradaes were

awful throughout middle school. Quite a few F's every semester.

His first semester of high school, no F's, a D in Geometry and C- in English,

B's for the rest. We are over the moon.

Has anyone else faced this? Do we settle for " not failing " as a good thing? Or

shoulc we be demanding more of the school and our son?

His low grades are mainly a result of poor homework completion.

He is coming up for his triennial review and I am wondering if we should be

asking for more accommodations or resources.
