[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 394761, member: 1991"] Use of a scribe wouldn't work. We have looked into that in great detail, because it is the option our Dept of Ed prefers when we ask for use of computer in special provisions. But to be able to use a scribe, you have to practice with one and be BETTER than average at composing your thoughts and ideas. An aside - have you tried teaching her how to mind-map? It is a way of organising thoughts on paper, even when the ADD stops you being able to hold more than one thought in your head at a time. It was the saving grace for difficult child 1, who was totally unable to write anything all through school, until he learned this. Back to Jumper - you know how much I love home schooling and really recommend it. But I do not recommend it here and now for Jumper. If you have to, yes, but I agree with you - she lovers school, she is not a behaviour problem at school, her problems is with assessment methods and tis will be a problem anywhere. If they will bend on the notes issue to let her use one index card, then they should have bent sufficiently to allow her any amount of notes. Alternatively, they need to find another method of assessing her ability. As for the accusation of cheating - you know we went through that this year with difficult child 3's English teacher. I would suggest next time, don't question Jumper yourself, but ask the teacher to do so, in your presence. That way the teacher sees her unedited and unprepared reaction. Have a look at the work she scored well in - was it time limited or not? Was she able to make it personally relevant or not? It all has a strong bearing on it. I have to rush off now, but I will be back. Marg [/QUOTE]
