I know that sometimes I sound like a broken record, but with all 3 S's, a reluctance to do the "busy" work and show work was actually related to a processing issue and LD that made writing everything down much harder for them. It also showed up in not writing down the homework. Since they were very bright they could mask it with doing it in their head and doing well on tests. Until the work just got to be too much to keep in their heads. The long testing done with an educational tester picked up the issues and helped us get the help they needed to be successful.
S1 took what was needed and did well. S2 still decided he did not want to do what was necessary and took 3 years off school. He is back now doing everything required and doing well. S3 did not want to do what was necessary and failed. He has not yet decided to try again and is a waiter. Each took the knowledge and skills they were taught and did what they wanted with them. We did our part by helping them find the issues and get the teachers needed to develop the skills required to compensate.
So are you sure there are not any LD issues? .
