[quote=Anonymous]A shaky start for 13-year old DS at new school. He can do it, but kind of chooses not to somewhat, and is getting low scores in some classes. Part of it is greater workload, new environment, as we expected. Part is his executive skills, organization, thoroughness, and not rushing through homework so he can get back to his computer games. Previous school, he did well and was a perfectionist. Now in more competitive school he sees it is harder to be a perfectionist and is just kind of letting go, I think. From the teachers, we as parents hear two schools of thought: 1) He needs to figure this out on his own, as he will other things in life, and 2) get more involved with homework, interact more with DS on an assignment-by-assignment basis for the courses he is having trouble in. I welcome your views on what our role as parents should be on this issue. [/quote]
