Answer 1

I can certainly relate to this problem as I was pretty unorganized at school at times myself. The KEY here is that at home, he has you standing over him to make sure he's well-organized, but at school, he doesn't.

My suggestion would be to offer him an "incentive" to stay organized at school. Offer him a "reward" by doing or buying something he'll like ONLY if he doesn't loose things and stays organized at school.

Right now, he knows it, but doesn't have a real incentive to do it. Rewarding him for good behavior will encourage him to behave well and do what you expect.

Answer 2

Let him learn from his own mistakes, once the teacher scolds him he will learn
