[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with the teachers here - parents need to accept that for some  kids there will be a long ugly learning curve for homework protocols 
 and there will be many failures over time as kids learn the process.  Don’t flip out at teachers or your kids especially in the early years if there are hiccups - but be realistic that this skill takes time -often  even years to develop - and ultimately your kid will be the one to decide if they master it or not.  My kid got many Bs, Cs and even Ds in elementary school and middle school on a regular basis.  So many calls and notes from teachers for not showing work and failure to do or hand in homework.  This problem persisted from elementary school til early HS.  Same kid graduated Summa Cum Laude from college and recently graduated from an Ivy League Law school.  Point is - do your best with reminders and don’t give up on your kid.  Most of all don’t make this your teachers problem to solve - it’s your KIDs problem. In our case there were many imperfect report cards- and I think this is important because it’s the consequence of not mastering the skill.  For this issue, kids need time and patience from both parents and educators and not accommodations.  It’s okay if the transcript is not perfect.  Build resilience and grit -once it clicks it’s a huge boost of confidence- but  don’t look for teachers to make things perfect and save them from messing up.  Messing up IS part of the process.

This is useless drivel. Again you have no clue about the issue here. What a waste of space.[/quote]
