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.
DD9 would be very happy to do the bare minimum in most of her classes. Even with all of her accomodations, the teacher has to remind her to use her Fusion (co-writer) or Netbook... she will often write by hand if it is something short because it is 'faster'. Unfortunately, faster for her is often illegible or so full of mistakes that the meaning is lost. She becomes very defensive when you try to help her or suggest that she needs to edit a bit more. I think, in her case, it is due to a bit of embarrassment and a long-standing habit of doing the bare minimum because that way you could blame your poor work on a lack of effort rather than not being able to do the work. This year, we are slowly breaking apart her bad habits.
