When Cheyanne was that age I did what Jen M does - I'd email the teacher and let him/her know that Cheyanne had a question for them and if they could please ask her about it if she forgot - it isn't just boys, trust me! Things go in and out of their heads in an instant at that age.
Now that she's 15 and a sophomore I never have to address anything - thanks to starting in 5th grade by working with the teachers to have her take responsibility she now is in control of her own problems. She knows what she needs to do, when to ask for extra help, etc. They do eventually learn to take care things of themselves
