[QUOTE="Andy, post: 550939, member: 5096"] We had a back to school open house the week before school. difficult child got his locker assignment and class schedule for the entire year. He didn't want any thing to do with me so as he did whatever with his friends, I met all of his 1st semester teachers. If he knew what I shared with a few of them, he would have come with. I told one of the English teachers about his diagnosis and history of non-reading (he would be super mad if he knew). I told her that his issues have been resolved, that he has a good handle on what he needs to do to stay on top of things. Once he is in her class, she will not believe what we have been through. difficult child has two English classes this semester. The students were advised that if they had two that they should consider getting one switched to next semester. Why doesn't the school adjust this instead of having to make the change once the year had begun? The problem is I believe today was the deadline to do so and none of the kids will know until the middle to end of next week what their entire work load will be. difficult child is determined to keep the 1st semester as is so that the 2nd semester will be a bit lighter. He has Advanced Placement US History, biology, geometry, accounting, wildlife perservation, and two English classes. With bowling practices three times per week and a tournament every Saturday for September and October, I hope he can commit to the time needed for homework. Last year he budgeted his time very well with the use of atudy halls so he very seldom brought work home to do. He can get a lot done during study halls this year but will still have one to two hours of homework. Two of the bowling practices is right after school so that will not be a problem. It is the 6:45 - 8:15 that is going to be a challenge to work around. Last night he was up late doing homework. I get to follow his work via computer so should be able to tell immediately if he is struggling somewhere. I am also encouraging him to get to school early to do homework in the media center. If he is going to drive to school, he needs to go early anyway for a parking spot. I can't get into two of the teacher's individual sites and need to find time to call and ask for tech support. The teachers have e-mails but I can't find one for the computer staff! Frustrating since I don't have time during the day to deal with it? [/QUOTE]
