[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg....I just finished helping my 7th grader with an algebra project due tomorrow that she was assigned last week. Finished at 10pm. She forgot she had it and wasn't sure when it was due. It was the first time I'd seen it.  We had a good talk afterwards about her executive functioning skills (or lack thereof) and how we need to start figuring this out. I hear a lot of "I forgot" and "I just couldn't figure out how to get started" and "I was distracted." She is only recently diagnosed with ADD and only based on my feedback. Her teachers gave glowing reviews in elementary and saw no signs of ADD. But there was no homework. No need to study. No independent organization skills necessary. Now all these shortcomings are starting to pop up. Teachers won't see it because I'm involved and helpful to my child teaching her all these EF skills. But she's starting to get overwhelmed.

Our current plan is daily agenda book checks by me plus a set homework time and location at home. Curious to see what others are doing to help. [/quote]

Op.  This is why we skipped algebra.  Work is all easy for now and he'll use this year to improve his EF.[/quote]

Skipped like held back a year in math? Is he enjoying the math class he's stuck in?[/quote]
