[quote=Anonymous]DP, but I have the same exact problem as OP. Thanks for the advice and the book recommendations. I did back off and let him be in charge in 6th and 7th grades because I realized that he should learn this in middle school, not high school or college where the stakes could be higher. Those years, I only paid attention to math class. The rest of the classes I left him pretty much on his own. He did some mediocre work in some classes and I was anxiously awaiting a grade that would reflect both the mediocre effort and quality. But the teachers at our "nurturing" private school let me down and gave him all As - I think the lowest grade he got was a B on a paper. So all he got from that was "I can do mediocre work and still manage to get an A" - argh. The teachers said that they were being less strict on grading and deadlines because the kids had a hard time and suffered during the pandemic. So back to the drawing board, I guess.[/quote]
