[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP: we had similar issues in 6th grade and we are now repeating them in 9th. DS would not hear anything from us. We had to get his sped teacher to talk to him. She was able to get through when we weren't. He has the HW he likes to do and postpones the hard stuff till later or also does just forgets. Get school to reinforce this approach and don't you stress about lateness on assignments for now. He needs the consequences from the teachers and the sped to remind him how to approach his own HW. He wants to feel independent and you have to just let him struggle a little right now so he can find his own groove. 6th is overwhelming. If there is an online tracker, you can check it and just casually say, " I see you have x HW. How about tackling that tonight? I can help you if you want." [/quote]
