[quote=Anonymous]I have an 11th grader with dyslexia and executive functioning deficits, and we’ve backed way off. For my kid that doesn’t equal failing out, but does mean a D here and there (usually pulled up to a C- the last day of semester), a few Cs, and a bunch of Bs. This year he started doing a bit of homework in the evenings, unprompted. When we try to help - with calendars, systems, reminders, tutors - he gets stressed, snappy, silent, and just all around unpleasant and unhappy. So we stopped. We used the old “I love you too much to argue about homework” line again and again (to ourselves) to remind us to drop the rope and just love him instead. He’ll be able to go to a four year college, though not a selective one. I can’t say your kid will end up on the same path, OP, but I had the exact same fears you do when my son was a 9th grader and into 10th grade.[/quote]
