[quote=Anonymous]Another part of the broader problem is that your middle schooler missed at least 18 months of learning how to manage an increasing work load between school and home. It's a learned skill to go to seven classes, collect the work, keep it organized on paper and on screen, know what the deadlines are for everything, pace yourself on a project that is due in ten days, sit and study at home, and so on. Please keep that in mind here, and talk to your student about what he or she needs. Our middle and high school students are struggling because their skills are lacking in certain study-management areas, but the schools are barreling ahead with the same expectations.[/quote]
