[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe a weekly meeting with him where he looks through sis and then reports to you what is done and what isn’t? 
By ninth I would be tempted to let him deal with the consequences of his actions (or really would have done it in 7th). But I see the dilemma now that his grades count.[/quote]

I did try letting consequences apply in MS for the non-HS grade classes. Issue is that he did ok in those (because there was almost zero HW and tests didn't seem to require much studying) and the problems were with his permanent grade courses that required more work. Plus that was part of why i would back off after babysitting for awhile - to let him "ride the bike himself" but then the wheels would fall right back off it again. :(

I can relate.  I'm exactly there with my daughter.  Does fine when I'm helicoptering; falls off the cliff when I'm not.  Sigh.  I did two things (not saying they solved the problem for me, but you should do it to help facilitate both you and your kid's ability to stay on top of it):  I had their Schoology calendar link directly to the iCal or Google Calendar and set up daily messages on what was due today.  That way, I didn't have to log on everyday and could just ask "did you complete...".  I dont know if this is still available for high school classes but it was/is available for middle school classes.  [/quote]
