[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 270553, member: 1550"] I get really irritated when teachers can't seem to figure out the simple things. I have kids to take care of--with learning issues--I don't want to have to do the teacher's job for her. You can't force a child to learn how to be organized before he is ready. It's like trying to teach a baby to walk at twelve months because that's the average age when babies walk...but he won't walk if he's not ready. Not every kid is ready to "learn" to remember at age ten. I've told this to my daughter's teachers and they agree with me. When my daughter forgets her homework or to turn it in, she gets prompted or she can call me to bring in her work. I'm sure she'll learn coping skills by the time she's twenty. :angry: She's behind other kids in that area. So what? I woudln't allow them to punish her for something like that. Learning Disability (LD) kids struggle enough with self-esteem. [/QUOTE]
