3rd day of school - Note sent home:
Kiddo was asked to free write about any topic of his choosing. It was a 10 minute (timed) writing. Kiddo wouldn't write because he didn't know what to write. I told him he could write about what we did the first day of school or what he did this summer (Just to give suggestions). He refused to write because he didn't know what to write about. We gave an assignment in Rd. Ms. "Special Ed Teacher" was trying to get him to tell her the answers orally and she would write them. He refused. Ms. "Behavioral Management Teacher" went into the classroom to talk to him as well. Much better rest of the day.
I hate the word 'refused'. I feel like its their way of saying, "Sorry we don't see that he has any condition that would warrant him to act this way. He just refuses to do the work."
I spoke with Ms. "Behavioral Management Teacher" She said she was there for the exercise. And she felt that kiddo was still in summer mode. So he wouldn't start the work. I can see this but its no less frustrating for me. ADHD is almost a guarantee that kiddo isn't going to be interested in the mundane stuff like reading and writing. Its all a struggle. But he's so sweet! and hes amazing. And I don't think his teachers understand or realize that!
