[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How on earth are you getting your middle and high schoolers to sit in a Chair and concentrate and do an assignment!? My 15 year old would never in a million years do something that I requested her to do like this. And that is even with Ritalin. What is it like to have a compliant child!?[/quote]

I'm the PP who wrote the long post above about IXL.  My kids are neurotypical.  And as I said, I was unable to get them to do the IXL independently.  When they were assigned it as summer homework by their public middle school, I had to put them on our boring desktop computer and sit on a couch behind them and look up every 5 minutes or so to make sure they were doing the modules.  That's before I was investigating remediating their skills.  The remediation was a late-pandemic move when I realized that both of my boys lacked important math concepts.  And my older one was heading into high school honors math and I didn't want him to stumble freshman year.  I personally had a math failure in 7th grade that pushed me back a class year.  I also was one of those kids that never internalized the math despite getting good grades.  I did terrible on the SAT math and that cost me some pride and probably scholarship money.  So I was committed to doing better for my kids.[/quote]

Oohhhhhh.  Neurotypical. Yeah this would not work with my kids. Also, good for you. [/quote]
