Re: 7th grade stinks! Help!

[Guest guest]

Maybe the work is too much for him, and because he

really doesn't want special ed, he is doing everything

he can to " slide " by.Maybe he needs homework

motifation, meaning less homework that is stated in

his IEP. If you are fighting nightly, it might be

worth looking into. The other conclusion is that he is

just being a normal kid who doesn't want to do the

work? My eight grader who has no difficulties,started

this and now while we are waiting for my son with As

to get out of his tutor, I have my son do his work.

Right in front of me. By the time we get home he is

done and doesn't have to worry about it. He just told

me last night he feels like a weight has been lifted

off of him-

Good luck-
