[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are parents supposed to be this involved in Middle School? My Middle School parent friends say they have little to nothing to do with school any more, which is a relief after all the work they put into their elementary school.[/quote] Yes, if your child is struggling with organizational issues (does the homework but forgets to bring it in or turn it in, etc.) it is still appropriate for parents to stay on top of things, help students develop skills and routines to manage materials and remember to turn stuff in. You could say, "Just let them fail, and they will learn" but the thing is, if the kids has difficulty with organization, he sometimes CAN'T just "learn" how to remember stuff. If it were that easy, all those times he failed would have motivated him to "Remember Better! Just TRY!" But that is like telling a blind child "Just SEE better, damn it! Try harder to see" in some cases.[/quote]
