Lurkette, maybe "given up" was too strong, but I think it is definitely true that they are not doing all that they could be doing. None of his teachers is trying to accommodate him in any case, even though the ones I've talked to understand that he is far more capable than his performance indicates. His math teacher thinks this is a deliberate battle of wills, so he is not very sympathetic, although he does like the boy.
The counselor does seem sympathetic and trying hard to find out what the problem is, but she does not seem to be exploring alternative ways to evaluate him.
