Now, I am no expert, but I have been undiagnosed with ADHD for almost my entire life. I was 59 when I hounded my doctor to test me for ADHD. First of all, the school doesn't want your son to enter his final year of school. The school teachers may be spending too much time with your soon thus slowing down the rest of the class, and your son may be embarassed to go back for his senior year of school because he may feel he is not ready for his senior year of school.

To me it sounds like your school is possibly discriminating against your son because they may be spending too much time with his learning problems. You need to get a hold of your State Department that handles Handicapped Concerns, let them know what is happening to your son. They can possibly help individuals who are being discriminated against. To me it sounds as if your son is being discriminated against by the school because of his ADD. Your son maybe stressed out because of his learning shortcomings. You can also contact the EEOC of the school or it maybe better to go directly to either the State or Federal Level to report dicrimination. Did the school know of your sons ADD problems? Did they give him any accomodations for his learning difficulties. Did the school send you a letter where their letter head appears on the notice to you. If they didn't state a reason to you via a letter, ask them for a letter showing why they won't let him into school? How many other students did the school state were not allowed back to school? Hopefully, the school has written to you about your son being unaccepted to finish his senior year of high school. Make sure you have something in writing from the school as documentation for the State Handicapped Concerns or Federal Government EEOC Department.. It sure seems like a case of discrimination to me because the school is not giving your son an accomodation where he may need more individual help with his school work. If your son does get back to school have him use a tape recorder to tape the classes he takes and to write notes. To me it was hard to write notes and listen to the teacher at the same time. This is where the tape recorder comes in handy. I myself had a really rough time growing older. I had checked my high school transcript and found out I was #2 from the bottom of my class standings. However, since I was unaware of my ADHD problem, I entered an passed to get into the military service of my choice. While in the service I attended basic English and Math courses where I was not rushed, and I finally started to understand a subject and verb relationship. If you want any more information from me please reply to this post.
