[quote=Anonymous]We are trying an experiment with our 8th-grader: After years of pushing to get the homework done, and denying screentime if homework not done, I prevailed on DH to back off completely and let eighth grade be DC's responsibility. Of course the homework is not getting done. We meet with the teachers so DC can see the teacher as an ally, but no pressure. Frankly, it doesn't matter to me whether DC gets A's or F's now that we know the organizational skills are in place - because home life is now far sweeter and more peaceful; and having read about extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation, I think we should have backed off long ago.[/quote]
