Thanks, MichelleC. Yes, I think with the spotty instruction this year, it may be a bit of both, but much more, responsibility. His school passed out chrome books to all the students in January and suddenly the teachers were giving out three times as much homework (they most likely were directed to do so by the county office). Not only that, but all communication about homework was communicated via computer so if the student didn't check he could find himself very behind, very quickly.
Many, many students' grades plummeted after the computers were handed out. There's actually going to be a meeting about it at the county level.
Even so, if these are the new expectations, we expect ds will grow to meet them.
