My son, age 12, has struggled through school his entire life. He is fidgety, probably slightly ADD, has a problem with organizational skills, etc. He is also small for his age and the constant subject of verbal mocking/abuse by a lot of his classmates because of his size.
I had a conference w/his teachers in November and was told he had started off poorly, but was making great progress. Last week, without any warning, he was put on a system of accountability because many times he forgets to turn in his homework. Now he has to carry around a folder and each of his teachers (total of 6) have to check it each day for homework, behavior, supplies, focus in class, etc. It is HIS responsibility to get it checked - if he does not get it checked on time by each teacher, he gets a U for Unsatisfactory for all the points above. When he accrues a certain number of U's he gets a detention.
Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on this?
