[quote=Anonymous]Your child may need a lot of structure and external reinforcements to do their work and figure things out. Everyone is different. But my experience is that smart kids know how to sort out what's important and are capable of prioritizing their time and attention, so you might give your child a little more credit. My GDS high schooler knows how to use the "Hopper" to track schoolwork, tests, quizzes, and writing/research projects, etc.. No one is going to hold their hands in college, so they need to learn how to manage their work themselves eventually. To 7:59, I don't know what selective college you went to that had so much structure that a GDS student would feel out of place. I don't know a single non-vocational school that doesn't expect students to figure it out by themselves. Certainly, no one tells you what or how to write a thesis. I remember seminars as essentially self-guided.[/quote]
