So he finished the entire project he had to redo last night. I drove him to school this morning so that it wouldn't get mangled on his walk, and he almost walked off from our vehicle without it. He got it out of the back seat, set it down on the front seat while he put on his backpack and then started to close the door without the packet in hand. I had to call after him before he walked off or he would've completely forgotten it.

I truly understand the teachers' frustrations, but I'm not sure what tactics to use to try to help him remember things. He literally carries every book from every class all day rather than using his locker so that he doesn't forget things in his locker. His backpack is so heavy, it is hard for me to pick up. But if he forgets something in his locker, he is often given a zero because he didn't come to class prepared, so this is his solution.

Anything that has worked for you all?
