My DS16 (almost 17) has his pride. He's being doing much better than freshman year and as is age appropriate wants to take care of things HIMSELF. He has a 504 that includes items such as extra time for tests. College board has granted him extra time for the SAT, AP tests.
But the kid doesn't want to take advantage of this accommodation in class but it looks like he needs it. Last AP Bio tests he got a 98% on the multiple choice but he didn't have enough time and never even got to the short answer part that was 20% of the total ending up with a C+ on a test he should have done better on.
I just emailed the teacher & counselor. But I know I'm going to get grief from him about it. How do I convince him that he really should talk with his teacher about this. This teacher really is an excellent and reasonable teacher.
