[quote=Anonymous]Our school did in middle school, but stops for high school.

I understand why. The kids get very caught up in the immediacy of the grades, parents are overly-involved, and it's incredibly stressful for everyone.

My DC has ADHD though, and I found it really helpful, as did DC. DC's struggling with the transition to HS because of missing the portal. DC manages to write most assignments in an assignment book, but if something is mentioned at the end of class it's likely going to be missed. DC's executive planning is lacking, so after getting a grade on something where you or I might make a plan to go see the teacher, and then actually go seethe teacher, DC at most formulates half a thought that seeing the teacher would be a good idea, but it never makes it into long term memory, the plan is never acted on. DC has dropped from an A student to a B student, and from talking about it, it's almost entirely because of those sorts of challenges. Whereas if we had access to the grades, we could help be a reminder.

DC is ok with being a B student, and we're dealing with it. My concern is how to integrate executive function coaching when the tool we relied on in middle school is gone. We're encouraging DC have weekly check-ins with DC's adviser, and we'll see how that goes. From that perspective, it would have been nice to have middle school to sort some of this out. Grades matter in HS and it's rough to have to be figuring out this now, when we thought we had it sorted out.[/quote]
