[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP and coming from public. Its the studying that is the problem. Staying on top of tasks is fine, but the amount of studying for tests is pushing my kid over the edge. I definitely think that better focus in class would be helpful and it certainly is a difference between what was expected in middle vs hs. I don't think ADHD is in play but I guess it could be executive functioning. Not sure. It does seem like a lot to me too though. And regular classes. Not scholars or benilde.[/quote]

OP if your child is struggling under the weight of regular classes in 9th, now is the time to talk to teachers, counselor, and really work on study skills. You’ll either fine out that study skills/executive functioning are the problem (possibly undiagnosed ADHD) or that the school is not a good fit.  As someone else indicated, IT WILL NOT get easier. Yes there is an adjustment period to HS but schools account for this 9th grade and have more grace then. Not to mention over the course of the year the students themselves start to feel like they are getting the hang of things.  If your kid is feeling in edge still at this point now is the time to help.[/quote]
