[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"My DC is in Barnsley HGC. For the most part, they don't have w/e HW. However, they do have projects that span weeks, and we try to have DC work on the project over the w/e so DC isn't trying to complete all of it during the week. It's about pacing yourself and not procrastinating. As others have stated, time management is a huge thing."

Thanks for the answer! My DC will start at Barnsley in the Fall. DC has ADHD with some executive function issues-including disorganization and inattentiveness (has a 504). Do you happen to know if teachers help a child like this get organized, break large project into smaller tasks, manage time, etc, or is it expected that the child does it herself (or the parent).

Yes, they are all about helping - BUT, and this is a big but, the child has to follow through, and it behooves the parent to gently remind the child to check the calendar, review important dates, and break tasks down to manageable pieces.  We've had an overwhelmed kiddo on more than one occasion because he let things slide and kept telling us he had no homework etc., but we've helped him through it, and better that he learns now when it doesn't really matter, then later when it really does.[/quote]
