I am NOT happy about it. Every day after school he has been coming home telling me he has been doing all of his homework in class. Last week was the first week of school so I believed him. I thought all of his teachers were giving the kids a break. This week I got a little suspicious. I finally logged on to the school website to check his grades and homework. He is missing two assignments. One in math and one in science. They were both due on Monday, which means he DID have homework last week. He lied. He has been sitting at daycare during homework hour goofing off and not doing work. Appararently he's been lying to them too. I so totally don't feel like having a confrontation tonight, but what else can I do? He absolutely has to make up the work, if the teachers will even accept it late. I emailed both of his teachers today asking how he is doing. Is he focusing? Is he completing his classwork? Last year he had a very hard time completing classwork because he couldn't pay attention long enough to understand the assignments. Instead he sat staring off into space and biting his nails till they bled. We started Focalin the last couple of weeks of school and his teacher said she saw some improvement on his getting his assignments done. I am anxious to see how things have been going for him this year. I don't know if the focus is still a problem or if the medications are working and he's just choosing to skip assignments. I am not looking forward to tonight. I haven't been sleeping well and I'm really tired but now I have to closely monitor him and make sure he gets those two assignments done. Hopefully it won't be too much of a struggle. And so the school year begins....
