The teachers are incompetent when it comes to teaching students with ADHD. They expect them to behave like students who are not diagnosed with ADHD and when they don't the students are disciplined with suspensions because are incapable of modifying structure that will aide a student with ADHD to succeed. They also lack the patience.

My child is a A/B honor roll student who stay to himself, was tardy by 1 to 2 minutes 4 times for the school year 22-23, according to his first period teacher. Each time the teacher notified me via phone or text message, and I thank the teacher for keeping me informed. I explain to his first period teacher our situation and that he was not being irresponsible he also has the task of insuring that his 9, 7 and 6 year-old siblings get on the school bus. The school response was to place him in ISS for two days all day with no work. It didn't matter that his single parent called the school expressing concern about his education. He was just a kid that didn't fit in their circle of kids that are pursuing a higher quality of education. They just wanted to punish him, make an example out of him. Instead of helping him and understanding why he again 1 to 2 minutes tardy, not missing that period block, just tardy. (Repeat, I explained our situation!) He and I talked to the teacher and the ISS personal and explained ourselves for nothing. We understand now, he doesn't look like an honor student, so you choose not to educate him! Parents don't let them diminish your child education, our children matter, my child education matters.
