[quote=Anonymous]Agree with other PPs. Is the D because of lack of effort or lack of understanding? This would be the difference between teaching organizational skills vs. assessing curriculum/getting a tutor. My stepson, a rising junior with Asperger's, falls into the lazy camp. He is bright but gets lazy about homework and can fall behind. Like many teens, he is motivated by cold, hard cash, and that is what worked for us. We set a monetary value for grades and gave him a down payment (25% of total promised) only if he had all As/Bs (our agreement) at midterms. If he still had the same grades at end of year, he got the other 75%. If not, he did not get any more. May be worth a try for next school year depending on whether cash is motivating to your kid.[/quote]
