She has the same teacher for 3 classes who also has ADD. She is medicated. He is not.She has difficulty turning in homework which has caused her grades to suffer. We have met with him several times and at the advice of her therapist, requested a list of assignments and due dates. He would not provide it telling us "she'll get it and she needs to be accountable".Several meetings and emails later it hasn't gotten better. He will single her out and reprimand my 6th grader if I e-mail him regarding something she has told me about an assignment. He has told her he doesn't appreciate hearing from me. He doesn't keep the online access up to date and has said himself it isn't reliable.
