[QUOTE="Josie, post: 73396, member: 1792"] I agree there is probably some underlying issue with the DOL. For example, easy child has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and thinks she can't do math. She actually tests very high in math but she gets stuck on this idea that math is hard and then can't do it. To me, it looks like all she has to do is sit down and do it but to her, it is much more complicated. What is supposed to work for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and might work here even if it isn't Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), is to encourage them to do it even if it makes them uncomfortable. Then they see that they can handle it and are eventually able to do it on their own. For your son, it might work better if he had some additional support at school like Marg said and/or if he had some incentive for doing it instead of a punishment for not doing it. I always start with a pretty big incentive at first just to get my daughter over the initial resistance. At first, I might give her a snow cone after school for one day of doing it. Then the next week, she might have to do it all week to get it. The bottom line is that you want your child to succeed in the honors classes. It really won't help if he goes back to the regular classes especially if he still doesn't do the work. [/QUOTE]
