[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 402693, member: 439"] Had the same issues with one of mine. To the point he would do the homework but somehow not get it handed in (or it could be anywhere along the chain from hearing it assigned to getting it done). We tried all kinds of things to help HIM take control - planners, voice recorders, what have you. I finally decided it was HIS life and choice and HE had to figure it out. He managed to dump himself out of AP English because of not handing in a long term assignment (that he had actually done). The teacher called me, and I told her that it was up to him - let him realize the consequences. MY life was much more peaceful once I decided to just let HIM handle it or not. His choice, his life. His biodad would yell and scream at him, but it still didn't get the work done. Whatever. [/QUOTE]
