I agree that your son needs to be rewarded for writing down his homework. But, sometimes the whole "organization thing" can just be too overwhelming. Show your son how to get and stayed organized: http://www.family-homework-answers.com/homework-organization.html Make it a point to tell him again and again that you are only doing this temporarily. You have no intention of going through his planners and backpack and keeping track of everything. As your son develops the habit of being organized, it will become second nature!
