Same old same old
PPT. Good news: son is doing much better on quizzes, tests, participation. Showing he knows the materials. These grades are good. Bad news: the good part of the grades are getting flushed out by NOT DOING HOMEWORK. Part of it is that he's having a tough time getting himself together & organized, but most of it is that he's completely blowing it off.
I've reiterated a thousand times that I'm willing to help him, that the teachers are willing to help him, etc. But he has to do HIS part. Others @ the PPT underscored that point as well.
I don't want to go backwards. I want to go forwards. I want HIM to go forwards. And some parts are. The school psych poked his head in @ the beginning & said he noticed my son being way more social & getting along great with others. That is a big step for him, too. I have to try to look at the postive side & see that yes, there is SOME progress being made. I'm just so scared that we may lose that progress, like we did from 7th to 8th grade.
