Letting Go

Demi and I have been trying to let Caz be a bit more independent with this school work.  Not that we have been too involved.  And I don't want you to get the impression that we are involved in the quality of the homework.  We really just check that it is done on a nightly basis.  We check both the boys to make sure that whatever is due the next school day, is done.
    But Caz needs a bit more oversight.  His ADD is a challenge that we consistently work on.  He needs to do more on his own as time goes on.  He has a tendency to do his homework but not handing it in.  We hope that the balance of help is such that when he goes off to high school and it truly on his own, he can be successful.
     Right now it's not going as well as we had hoped.  His teachers aren't helping.  We try to be communicative, but not over bearing.  Lately, they have stopped getting back to us.  They are not living up to the discussion we had at the beginning of the school year.  I know they have lots of students but we agreed on a plan for Caz that is less administrative for them but we are not see them living up to their promises.  We are going to have to take steps to rectify that.
