The power of the nudge in education

Ah... My DS is perhaps not keen on the idea, after so many years of me asking him about every detail of his life! He's doing ok as far as I am aware, but has twice forgotten to hand in work even though he has finished it, so misses out on points as they refuse to grade it.

Janerowena my daughter has her sons log in details for his college work so she can check he is taking notice of such things... I am guessing that she just asked him for it as he is aware a 'nudge' from Mum helps with his lack of memory/enthusiasm..

It would help us hugely, I wish we had it, because DS has a short-term memory problem. As I have no access to his emails and texts and timetables because of the security settings, it is very frustrating.
