My daughter is in 6th grade, she is intellectually gifted and has ADHD. She is getting A's on exams and quizzes but ultimately receiving a B for the quarter is some classes. This is due to her being penalized for late homework, and failing "agenda quizzes" (they grade students on agenda, to ensure they write assignments accurately ) Having ADHD she is forgetful and disorganized, and often forgets homework, loses it, etc. I am trying to find out if there is a reasonable accommodation that can help her. If she does not receive a minimum score of 93 each quarter in each subject ( not as a general overall gpa) she will not be eligible for AP/ honors classes next year, which she desperately needs as she is not being challenged academically at ALL! She NEVER has to study and always gets A's she needs to be challenged! Is it fair to grade agendas and deduct points for handing in homework late when a child has ADHD ?
