[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 468936, member: 11016"] I really wish I could "just say no" to homework. We don't have an IEP (yet). If he doesn't finish work in class, they make him stay in at recess to try and finish. His and my favorite teacher sits with him to get his work done. He gets to bring some of it home to finish--but not all. He gets ZEROs for work not completed. The first 3 weeks of school he was failing all classes (except PE and Reading). He needs constant motivation, redirecting and reminding to do the work. I have to sit beside him and coach him through the whole ordeal. "Ok, do number one first, don't worry about the others right now. Good! You did it. Now lets go to the next one. Read it again. Read it out loud if you need to". And when it comes to writing things down--like essays-- which he has two per week to do... I basically have to pull info out of him. And then help him put his ideas into some sort of order. He can NOT (or will not?) put ideas--his own--onto paper. If I told him WHAT to write he could do it...If I fed him a few words at a time. Carson was in OCS for three days for putting his hands around a childs neck in anger and "choking and mauling" the kid. After his three days were up Carson told me he has another day--for not doing any work in OCS those three days--UGH! On the last day he told the OCS "babysitter" to "SHUT UP"...bet they try to put him in OCS for ANOTHER day. I just get so darn frustrated. He didn't want to do the work because he had to get off the computer to do the homework. I think he needs a one on one aide. Someone to be a "cheerleader" to get the work done. To remind him what he is supposed to be doing. Someone to redirct and motivate him. A "jimminy cricket" of some sort--to difuse any situation from becoming an angy, pencil breaking, book throwing fit. I gave him a "squeeze toy" to take to class and squeeze when he was angry--but he lost that privledge when he threw it across the room. I think he needs a laptop to do any "writing" work on. I think his work should be cut in half. Even tests. So that everything doesn't look so daunting and cause him to be over whelmed. I offered to be his "aide" and the school said no. I just wish the IEP testing would hurry up (LOL) and get done and we would have some plan in place. Right now they still have until 11/10/11 to get the testing done. And then 30 more days to get a meeting done. I am just impatient. And I am sure that the things that I *think* he needs will not happen. Sigh. Tonight is Wednesday--usually there is no homwork on Wednesday nights (to allow families to go to church here in the Bible Belt of Texas). But sometimes he has left over work to do. Maybe I should go put a bottle of wine on the freezer to get good and cold--for me, not Carson LOL [/QUOTE]
