[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 253164, member: 3444"] Stella, I have also had teachers half-heartedly agree to periodically "check" my difficult children' notebooks for assignments being written and materials brought home. difficult child 1 is supposed to have his planner signed by the four core teachers, who are supposedly verifying that he has all his assignments writtend down, but they put all the responsibility on HIM. And he is a kid who forgets! So husband and I are still not sure how that is supposed to be a consistent support. Fortunately, he has all his textbooks at home, so that's not ever the issue. He just forgets to write things down, and forgets to follow up on things that are not finished. There's only so much I can do on that front. That's why we're going for an evaluation on him -- to figure out why he's like this and what the best way is to help him deal with it. I won't even go into group project issues, which he invariably fails at every time. I think he may have social skills issues that get in the way here. difficult child 2 has only two teachers, and his math/science teacher is the only one that reliably checks his planner to make sure he has assignments written down for the night's homework. Unfortunately, neither teacher checks for materials and there are many times when we don't discover that something's missing until it's too late to go back to school to retrieve it. The material they both bring home is not the issue. I can help with that, and they are fairly bright enough that they "get" how to do it. (Although difficult child 1 often has a writing block and has trouble getting started on some assignments). It's just the organization, time management, and follow through where they are L-O-U-S-Y.
