[quote=Anonymous]Great experience at Carson. Very worth the time — IF your kid has ADHD.  Also, if they are not able to resolve minor issues with teachers themselves (like missing homework). If their backpack or workspace is a mess. If they get overwhelmed when they have a lot to do.  If they forget to turn in homework. If they keep everything in their mind and do not use some form of DAB and calendaring system.  If they tend to be anxious/perfectioninst.

There are some kids who real,y have it all together starting MS. For most kids, this teaches skills they need. Ask the 6th grade teacher, and she should be able to tell you if you are on the fence. I believe she needs to sign off that it will benefit your kid anyway.

Antidotal, but I have a friend whose DC took the class at Thoreau, and did not get much out of it. Carson’s version had a workbook, assignments, grades and the teacher worked with the kids on individual issues. Like how to approach the teacher when they lost work. [/quote]
