This pushing of responsibility at such an early age bugs me. Sure, some kids can do it, but in other people EF brain connections don't fully mature until they are 30 or so.
And for some of us...not even then.
As long as the teachers are flexible about these things, that's fine, but our school started grading the kids' assignment notebooks in 4th grade, which was way too early.
I think it's okay as long as it's viewed as a skill, and kids with deficits are given direct, specific, one-on-one instruction the same way a child with a reading problem should be helped, for instance.
"Responsibility" isn't the right word. Challenged is better, I think. Not that kids don't need to learn to manage their challenges, but the frame is important so they don't internalize and feel like they are Bad (Irresponsible) Kids.
