[quote=Anonymous]I will be a dissenter about getting tested. I don't see huge red flags other than becoming a teenager and not thrilled about school. The one recommendation I would suggest is brushing up on his study and organizational skills. These are skills that can be worked upon and improved just like anything else. I really like the Homework Made Simple book by Ann Dolin. Have a sit down with your kid. Review the strategies/schedule for this coming semester. Get his input on how to do better. He may not want to or like it, but he [i]needs[/i] to. If he put the work into an assignment, he might as well turn it in. You may need to a little more hands on for a few weeks until there's more of a system in place.[/quote]
