Weeellll, he's kinda lazy like that . Seriously, he's not about to do any more work than the bare minimum unless he's required. By required, I mean a directive from the teacher or he'd probably have to fail a test before he'd think that he needed the notes. It's very frustrating for us because we feel that he's missing out on learning some very important skills/habits that he will need at some point.
Oh, I didn't read it like that. I was thinking along the lines that he doesn't take notes because he doesn't need to. Does he do well with the bare minimum? The reason I ask is my DS sounded very similar at that age, and in our case well beyond it. He would do what was required and no more. Minimal effort applied to all tasks
.
It hasn't affected his ability to prepare or study for exams in high school or university. I was concerned when he attended a residential school at the university and over 4 days (all day 9 -5) wrote 1/2 a page of notes in an exercise book. I asked him about it and he said he knew the work so why write it down. Thank god his end of semester results proved him right
