Lack of work in class

NAS77158

Morning 

my 13 year old boy has just received his school report. He struggles to produce written work in class but consistently scores the highest assessment results in his cohort. His learning style is obviously not writing but I’m struggling to understand what his learning style is and how to explain this to others. His learning behaviour score, which teachers grade usually says requires improvement and this is really getting him down. Any other families had this problem? And how did you go about getting others to understand? Thank you

  • It might be the environment making him less productive in class. If he consistently scores the best in his cohort, that suggests that he is able to concentrate/ think more clearly under test conditions i.e. clear instructions and a quiet environment. Classes of 13 year olds can be quite distracting and chaotic. I would tell him that no one will care about his learning behaviour score in future and he's clearly going to get good GCSEs etc if he's top of his cohort :)
