YES! Having these skills is super important in life! Some kids know them and some need to be taught. If OP's kid is struggling she should absolutely be asking for resources, coach included.
+1 Schools are not teaching these skills, which are among the most important skills for success in life. Some kids need to be explicitly taught the skills.
THIS!
Why so? Schools should mainly teach content. Teachers shouldn't be expected to spend significant time teaching this at the expense of content. Why wouldn't parents be able to teach their kids how to be organized and do their homework? This is something that is naturally done at home. To me it feels that the current generation of parents are lazier than prior generations when it comes to spending more time with their kids and teaching them basic things such as this. Parents have more money and an expectation that someone else other than them, such as teachers or outside paid consultants should basically 'baby' their kids, because for some reason they cannot or don't want to.
