[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in 9th and 11th ADHD and have an executive functioning coach. (And we have seen a really nice acquisition of EF skills). The check gradebook with her once a week. Missing assignments, and they have until the end of the following week to get it in (about 10 days). If not, they lose their iPhone until the do.   Does not reach that point often— maybe 3-4 time a year.  And it resolves fast.  The lack of an iPhone is a constant reminder to kids who “forget” to do it.

Grades are touchier.  One kids is at TJ. One is at a tough base school. Different teachers can make the same class easier or harder.  TJ AP Physics C is not evaluated on the same scale as base school Honors Bio.  In general, I can tell if my kids are working.  If they are working, and they take advantage of makeups in low tests and there are no missing assignments, they are meeting our expectations.  There have been times my ADHD son went down internet rabbitholes and grades went down. He lost electronics until he turned it around.

Now, if a kid is working and no missing assignments and makeups done, and is still below a B, then we look at something like a tutoring the subject. We have needed to so this once.  [/quote]
