Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion time management in 3rd grade and beyond

I ask DS to define what went wrong when he doesn't keep a schedule, but he's still at an age where the blame must fall everywhere except upon himself. I agree with Kris that alot of the learning comes after the fact, but it depends alot on the child.
