[quote=Anonymous]OP here--it is completely a result of executive functioning and general organizational skills. He is getting support, but it is sporadic. The moment I turn my attention away from him and asking him about his daily tasks, he and they let it just slide on then there is this glaring "F" grade sizzling into my Edline mailbox on a Friday evening when I can't do anything about it. It is SO STRESSFUL! I have met with the principal, teachers etc., but it continues to happen whenever there is a period of relative calm, or g*d forbid I should turn my attention to the needs of my other kids. I just am not managing it very well at all and the strain is chipping at the foundation of our family happiness. We don't plan anything ahead of time anymore because eHW just monopolizes everything--the cost of neglecting one assignment can be 40% of the kid's grade with NO WARNING. Just boom! You go from an "A" to a "C" overnight and you're just gasping for answers and you're just told "that's the way it is".  The kid is working so hard every day--2.5 to 3 hours every day just to keep his head above water. I know this sounds so dramatic, but we are so drained by this. I'd like to know more about the club for organization. Is it at Deal? Is it after school ? Because he already does study hall twice a week after school as it is.[/quote]
