polarbear (or any one else)-
It sounds like your DS is very motivated to find ways to help him succeed. My DS just wants to get the work done as fast as he can possibly do it. If I try to help him by editing his work, he gets mad and says he just wants to get the grade he gets from his own work, without my help. I know I am ultimately in charge, but it is such a struggle every night to get him to re-do homework that is sloppy. I invested in Dragon and an Echo smartpen and the school gave him a netbook. He refuses to use any of it because he can "get by" with his handwriting and it is quicker. He can write quickly, but it is very, very sloppy. His neat handwriting does take much, much longer. I don't know whether to make him use the accomodations, make him redo sloppy work, or just accept that this is what it is.
