[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 563398"] IC, you're right in regards to HaoZi's kiddo. difficult child 1 didn't understand the work (a lot of inferring and higher level interpretation needed) once he hit about 7th grade. That's when he really struggled and his grades started going into the toilet in everything except Phy Ed, math, art, and computers. He really COULDN'T do the work without having it explained to him in plain, straight-forward, literal terms. He got sent to the office almost every day for not doing his classwork. That's when I started fighting for a para to help with that gap (and yea, that's when things went WAY downhill with the school). I loved the online checking. I could get on my kids for things before the grades got too bad. I checked every Thursday and went to the school every Friday to get copies of whatever wasn't done and they didn't have a life until everything I brought home was done. The embarrassment factor played a part to help. Terry, is the girlfriend becoming too much of a distraction at school? That's the first thing that popped into my head. Does he get any help at school? I assume it's homework he's not doing/turning in. WOW. I don't know what to tell you but I have a good idea about what I would do/try. [/QUOTE]
