Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Lack of challenge and work ethic (AEH I pm'd you)

*Aeh I sent you a private message*

Long story short HG, Dd (6th grade) isn't doing her assigned worksheets and videos she is supposed to watch in math class. The concepts are things she was doing 3 years ago so I sympathize with her and don't feel like forcing her to sit through these videos lessons and doing these worksheets is teaching her the right lesson in life. Dh and her teacher think she needs to learn responsibility and just do it. For what it's worth she doesn't lack work ethic in her other classes where she feels engaged or challenged, so it's an issue isolated to her math class.

As for getting her differentiated work or advanced placement, this hasn't been successful but is something I'm still working on but doesn't sound like it will happen.
