[quote=Anonymous]Middle school is where kids need to learn self advocacy and academic consequences. Even SN kids (and I have 2 on 504s, one MS, one HS, so I get that SN kids can struggle with this). Step back and let him either straighten it out with the teacher or take the zero. In our schools (FCPS) counselors will help facilitate a discussion and solution with the teacher if the kid asks. The beauty of letting it happen in middle school is that, in most cases, the consequences are very, very small. Only a few upper math and language classes might appear on college transcripts. Even if your DS gets a B one quarter, he will hopefully see it, dislike it, and not do it again-- all before it shows up on a high school transcript. [/quote]
