[QUOTE="buddy, post: 468898, member: 12886"] Pre-moon syndrome (the new PMS) When homework is a battle (most of the time) I dont do it either. fact is, mine is not going to meet standards, he does alternative state tests now too. We struggle to even read 5 minutes per night. That is one hour of nonsense and it is enough. It's not that he doesn't care about grades he doesn't get it. He thinks people go to college just like they go from mid school to high school. He wont go to college and will go to transition and then probably have a job coach for life, I dont tell him THAT but I do tell him that we all need lots of plans for choices. I've explained about how college is a choice and you have to ask to go and then pay to go, etc... and he said he "knew that" (defense) and then said it doesn't matter because he is just gonna do a scholarship (He had no clue what that was when I asked, I suspect someone was telling him he needed good grades to get a scholarship). We have in his IEP that he is graded on his IEP goals, he can't fail if he shows and does his level of attending, trying etc. He doesn't get A's or anything but he wont fail because he loves to go and try. It was hard to accept that this was going to be the plan. We do push him to reach his potential, dont get me wrong...and he is reading at a 6th grade level which is better than lots of non difficult child adults so...we will just keep trying and keep the home anxiety and battles down with no homework. TeDo, I'm so sorry it was such a sad day. The only time I have seen my difficult child actually genuinely hug me and talk nice (without trying to get out of a neg. consequence or asking for something he wants) is when I really fell apart and went to my room to cry. Usually he is not around when that happens, but he has seen it a few times and actually it ended up reassuring me that he does care deep down. Crying can be a good thing for many reasons. But I wish the stressful issues didn't have to go that far. [/QUOTE]
