[quote=Anonymous]My DS is having a rough time with his transition to high school. Mainly missing assignments, failed quizzes, homework done but not uploaded, or uploaded but not submitted etc. This is creating a lot of stress for him and us. My husband wants us (by us he means me) to oversee every aspect of his schooling, did he do his homework, did he submit his homework, etc. I am exhausted from asking about his homework and his grades.  I also find it embarrassing emailing his teachers because he is 14.  I actually think we should let him fail so that he finds his footing. Husband disagrees. We are stuck in this 3-way fight club where everyone is mad at each other. DS is very bright and had mostly As up to now. I tried to create lists and systems for him but nothing sticks because honestly, he is immature and does not care. He has ADHD and is medicated. I am sure that everything will eventually settle and turn out alright, but meanwhile I am looking for resources that can help him stay more organized and possibly for suggestions of what worked for others? He is in all honors classes, one AP, and has a D in math and English. Math the D is puzzling because he already knows all the material they are going over. English is because there are missing assignments and when I went through the list, all the assignments were uploaded but never submitted. [/quote]
