[QUOTE="witzend, post: 205181, member: 99"] The e-mail sounds hopeful, that he is amping up a bit. I don't think it immediately matters why he is stepping up his game (it does in the long run). I would use it as an opportunity to praise him for doing so, though. Is it possible that now that the initial anger has worn off that you and/or husband could talk to him to discuss that you realize he is beginning to see the importance of homework, and the teacher says that he is trying to catch up and that you are proud that he is trying? He probably needs some kudos for that. Then maybe there is a way that you or the teacher can help him with the late work so that he can do current work in class? Then you can also do the neuro psychiatric and IEP, because doing the work late isn't the solution, it's a bandaid. Or, is it possible that I need to adjust my rose colored glasses? ;) [/QUOTE]
