[quote=Anonymous]This sounds so much like my son, except he’s a freshman. A’s on homework but fails tests. He did manage to get an A in a few quizzes but it’s so inconsistent. He is definitely very bright, or at least used to be, his cogat was in the 99th percentile and he was always far advanced in elementary but it seems like everyone caught up. He himself asked me to take his phone way from him the minute he gets home from school. I don’t micromanage at all but I wonder if maybe I should, at least until he figures it out. He had him preliminarily tested for inattentive adhd but his teachers seemed to think he was fine even though I used to get calls all the time about his forgetfulness. I still sometimes wonder if I should have gotten a second opinion. All I can say is he does better when I study with him and check over his work consistently. Of course I can’t do that long term, I have a job and other kids. I’m thinking about a daily online tutor to help him with a schedule. Yes he plays sports but we are keeping him at a lower level than he should be to keep it from consuming our lives. I am also going to have him meet with his counselor because they said they can help with high school rigor and study skills. I told him to stay after school for homework help too. I hope he figures it out before the first quarter. [/quote]
