[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 234355, member: 3444"] WF, I am TRYING to detach and not take his shortcomings personally. It's very hard for me to do that, but I am trying. He's been more cheerful this week since I'm not nagging so much and trying to be more affectionate despite my frustration. WFEN, he is actually fairly organized when it comes to his notebook. He has separate colored pockets for each class and keeps his stuff in there neatly. He is getting better about writing the assignments down. But I think he doesn't always hear everything the teacher says -- that may be a focus/attention issue. There have been many times where he's somehow forgotten about something and not done it. I think managing his time is one of the biggest problems, staying focused and not giving in to what he'd "rather" be doing -- maybe that's just self-discipline. I don't know why he can't get his computer apps assignments done on time (they can only be worked on in class -- no take-home stuff). The only thing we can figure is that because it's a huge class (40-ish) he is either too distracted or overwhelmed. He seems to be more productive when he goes in early or stays late to work on them. I'm also going to contact the counselor next week to ask about his placements for next quarter. Maybe there would be a way to move him back to a few of the classes he was in and doing well in during the first quarter. [/QUOTE]
