Ask and you shall recieve, ADD class

After my mini rant about not getting enough out out of my Daughter's ADD class, her school has set up a parents meeting about ADD.

I'm pretty grateful.

I'm hoping to get more information on ways we can deal with this at home.
More understanding for both of us is a must.
I'm so happy schools are getting more in to this ADD/ADHD band wagon.
This is a real thing.
We struggle with it every day.

Today we had a math test that my daughter got an A- on and a Science test she got a B on. SO thrilled something is finally paying off.
Now if we can just bring the homework home and hand it in on time......

Also, I learned today that Adam Levine has ADHD. ;) fun fact! Also watching Maroon 5 on Ellen... *sigh*

School Work. ADD ADHD

My Daughter stays after school to get assistance twice a week. She's gets help with school work and there are  lessons that help her learn how to cope with ADD.
I don't think this is working.

She has 6 late math assignments (They are supposed to monitor her late assignments) and 2 late Science assignments.

I'm getting really frustrated.
First, because having  ADD myself I know how she can get overwhelmed.
Second, I was told she was going to get help with this. We do homework at home, but after she leaves the house how do I get her to hand it in?
Or if she doesn't bring it home... then what?  School told me they would catch her up, but she's still behind.

I feel like this support class isn't doing what it promised.
We are right back to where we started.
