[quote=Anonymous]It is really on the parents to teach organization which is fine with me but sooooooo many parents don't want to be bothered with anything including homework. My son has ADHD and one of the reasons I moved him out of public school is that they don't teach any of the skills needed for success later on. Every room I walked into had student desks with crap literally falling out of it. So many papers and they were everywhere. If the schools aren't going to use textbooks, they need to teach the students how to organize the hundreds of papers they are being given. From the looks of it, the students shove the papers in their desks and lockers. So they push higher order thinking skills but the basics of organization are ignored. Thankfully my son is now in private school where there are some textbooks for his classes (algebra, grammar, vocabulary). His teachers give the students a sheet to put at the beginning of each section of their binders with a numbered list of each paper they hand out. The teachers collect and check the binders periodically for a grade. For someone with ADHD, it is very easy to get lost in a sea of papers.[/quote]
