[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571839, member: 1233"] I will assist, and provide materials, and even provide books with ideas. I will NOT, and did not, ever do the work for my kid. If something needs to be typed and they are not able, they can dictate to me, but that is about all. I do sometimes help them break a big project into manageable segments, but that is it. If YOU do the project then YOU learn. If difficult child does not do it, he does not learn. A big part of projects and experiments is that they help a person learn the concept. Watching you do it is just not the same. Let him flunk. Unless/until he is showing them that he has real problems, they are not going to give accommodations. it is HARD, but you have GOT to step back and let him handle things and then you can more successfully get help for him. If you do the work, it does not show school what the problems are. How can they give accommodations if they don't ever get to see the real problems and the consequences of those problems? [/QUOTE]
