 Re: how much responsibility does a parent have?

This child sounds similar to my daughter, who at age 11 could not keep track of assignments and always wore mis-matched socks. She had ADD and a specific learning disabily, which is why I took her out of school in 4th grade for half a year and home-schooled her--bullying, plus teachers who didn't understand that she simply thought and understood concepts differently.

Today, she is graduating from high school one year early, and applying to top conservatories in music. But when she was younger, I always made sure that she had her music book when she went to her lesson. I would ask her teachers what the assignments were, since remembering assignments was much harder for her than actually playing the music. The best teachers were those that had some understanding regarding the different ways in which students learn, and didn't require her to learn concepts in a certain order.

It would be helpful if the parents would give you a briefing on what challenges their child faces.
