[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 109485, member: 1967"] Actually, MWM, that was my point. Your son does not need to do homework because he is not in the type of classes that require homework to be successful. You are absolutely right ~ not all children will go to college and need higher level mathematics. But to condemn homework as unncessary for all children based on your child's disorder and capabilities is misleading CD members who have children that can and will succeed in a college prep curriculum. Certainly at six you don't want the mom who started this thread to decide that her child is not capable of going to college someday and therefore give up on homework at this early age. I am always amazed at how many parents think it is great that their child spends hours and hours at football, softball, soccer, piano, and violin practice because they understand that practice is necessary to build skills but don't think practice is necessary when it comes to schoolwork. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
