I would love to know the answer to that one. Dylan brought home a classroom assignment because he didn't finish it in class (an on going problem of his is that he wastes time in class). He finished it that night but didn't turn it in the next morning. I found it in his backpack last night. A not uncommon situation for him. As soon as it's done, he's done with it and forgets the minor detail (to him) of turning it in.
Have you ever really and truly met a child that is normal in every thing? IME, EVERY child has something that makes him/her stand out and EVERY child child has something that sets him/her back. That is NORMAL.
One of the reasons I sometimes sit down with my fourth grader is to help teach him those organizational and problem-solving skills now, not in middle school.
Yes, I agree. As I also believe that parents who don't see 3d grade as the magic age by which parents need to stop checking their children's homework or helping with projects are not helicopter parents.

So, yes MY CHILD IS NORMAL.
I wish Dylan would learn that. It just might take failing a grade to get it through his head, though.

"They need to be able to teach the basics without parental involvement, because some children will not have that, period.
Is the alternative to that him continuing to receive Fs on assignments not turned in, and simply waiting for him to mature?
I have finally made it through the rest of this thread, lol....
I think that there has been a huge communication gap in this thread.
