LOL Grinity, thank you for that dialog. I will print it out for my meeting folder and see if I can work it in! The interesting thing is that we do have a monetary reward system in place at home and it is not helping one bit!
This is our first year in Middle School. And I think that most of the 6th grade teachers have not been formally exposed to Twice Exceptional learners. Seriously, the only action I want for him is to be able to have 1 folder for all his homework. But some homework has to be in the front of the binder, some at the back and some loose to turn in. He is not allowed to carry anything with him except the school assigned binders (we have to buy very specific ones to meet the rules) and his textbooks.
I honestly can't say that the school is bad or incapable of attempting to meet his needs. DH reminded me over lunch, that DS has set new precedents every year in this school. 3rd grade, he was put in the gifted program even though he didn't meet their rules on the advice of the his private psychiatrist. 4th grade, he was the first person subject skipped to 5th grade math. 5th grade, he did 100% independent study math. 6th grade, he is doing compacted independent study math in the 7th grade classroom. Maybe for 6th grade we can also set the precedent to use a folder/binder that works for him.
