[QUOTE="witzend, post: 377452, member: 99"] This was exactly M from 3rd grade on. By the time he was 13 it was unbearable. In hindsight, I would have handled it differently. I would have joined forces with the school and explained that he was totally capable of doing the work and it was their choice whether they paid for a standard education for him and had regular consequences, or she can continue what she's doing, fail and repeat the grade next year. That's putting it mildly, but you know what I mean. If Piglet takes six hours to do the work, then doesn't do it right, this is the time to let her do it that way. She's in 7th grade or 8th, right? Let her be a stubborn little piglet and tell the teacher what's happening at home and that you're not going to make the 8 hours she's awake at home a misery for your family by fighting her for it. Make sure that they tell Piglet that she will be repeating the grade and not moving to high school with her classmates. I think she'll be more motivated by that than she would be by pushing your buttons. [/QUOTE]
