Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Organization Suggestions

OK. DS8 made it through the first year of school relatively unscathed. In fact overall it has to be deemed a success.

All of the issues we had revolved around organization. Next year DS will be taking two high school classes so I assume that this will be a bigger issue next year. In an effort to help DS in this area, We have agreed to come up with a plan over the summer that he can use next year.

So, dear peeps I need to know what has worked for you, resources you've used etc. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I love this book the best to 'teach the parent how to teach the student.'

BTW - I wouldn't assume that High School requires more organizational skill than Middle school - because Middle school usually prides itself on being highly demanding organizationally. In High School there is more of an assumption that you passed the Hazing and are ok. I know a kid who was marked 0 on his homework because wrote in pen instead of pencil. Yup, that was middle school.

Good Luck!
