Breakaway4,
Our school has a similar policy on late homework. DS does really care, but still can't manage to get the assignments turned in. This is one of the primary causes of his stress. He is making every effort he knows to accomplish the task and still failing. I think it must be similar to the student who is studying his math facts every night but still can't pass the test.
We Study turning in your homework. For example. Dh to DS at home in the evening. OK, where is you science homework? DS checks his notebook. Right here in the homework section, Dad. OK, tomorrow morning at your locker what are you going to do? Take my Science binder to class. DH remember to make sure the homework is in it before you leave your locker. DS: OK, Dad.
Me to DS in the morning. Are all your binders in you backpack? DS: Checks and says Yes. OK, what are you going to do when you get to your locker? DS: I'll make sure I put them in order of my classes so I have them at the right times. Me: OK, have a Good Day!
