[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 204224, member: 1550"] You know, my seventh grade daughter isnt allowed to come home until her homework is done and it works out a lot better that way. There is after school help. Also, my daughter, in her IEP, had a choice of taking Spanish or having an Learning Disability (LD) study hall. We chose the study hall and that has been a Godsend. Some difficult child's just can not handle too much work or honors classes and tons of homework. It requires more than intelligence--it requires a certain discipline than many difficult child's just don't have. My daughter is a easy child, but she is Learning Disability (LD) so she needs study halls or has to do her work in school after or before school, where things are structured and where she can get help if she needs it. She is mainstreamed this year and it wouldn't be working out if she didn't have time in school to finish her work. She'd get way too stressed. Do you think that maybe he's got too hard a schedule? I don't mean that it's hard as far as intelligence--I mean, do you think that perhaps he is too emotionally immature or disorganized to have all these classes without a study hall and then have to come home and do homework for hours? To me that would be very difficult except for the most disciplined child. I have two nieces who are in all gifted classes, but they thrive on it, come home, and don't even turn on the television until they get all their homework done. But they are very VERY mature for their ages. I think that may be more important than a high IQ. Just a thought. I hope things get better with husband. He doesn't sound helpful. [/QUOTE]
