[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework club is for kids who are so far behind that they need whatever help they can get.

If you can afford it, get tutors.

Yes, I think this is the stigma she’s embarrassed about. I wouldn’t say she’s far behind, but horrible with homework. It definitely brings down her grades.

We haven’t had luck with tutors since elementary. I don’t know what the issue is, but it’s almost like they just do the work for her, give her the answers, and she doesn’t actually learn anything from them. She has the most success when her teachers can give her time during study hall. Teachers don’t realize the mint they could make if they offered tutoring! [/quote]

You might want to explore that further: is the problem low processing speed? Or not understanding concepts? Has she been tested for ADHD and learning disabilities? If she had a diagnosis, would you seek services and accommodations from the school, and possible meds if it's ADHD?

I have a kid with inattentive ADHD (daydreamer version) and extremely low processing speed. He also has a high IQ. He had extended time for tests and assignments throughout K-12.
