I would recommend calling the school psychologist or guidance counsellor if there isn't one and suggesting a meeting with him/her, the teacher, the principal, and somebody from special education. You may also want to get a letter from her doctor stating her issues. I would then attempt to set up an IEP. If that does not help, go to the school board.

Yes, I would also go for an IEP. The teacher doesn't have the final rule on it, and neither does the school. Most teachers don't take any classes in school to learn about ADD or learning disabilities, and are commonly unaware of the actual symptoms. She doesn't have to be hyper all the time, and usually ADD and ADHD children are most hyper when they are bored, and with so much going on in school, their attention is diverted frequently. Also, I don't believe in children failing, I believe the teachers and school have failed them. Regardless of whether she has ADD or not, they need to find out what the problem is and find a solution to it, and having an evaluation for an IEP is the first step.

I swear teachers need more classes in learning how to deal with children with learning disabilities, everytime I get together with my daughter's teacher, she always says she has dyslexia, and i have to remind her no... it isn't dyslexia... it is ADHD!!! I want to grab her by the throat and strangle her!!!
