[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 194820"] You can also write in his IEP that he does x amount of homework a night and then he stops. Say 30 minutes. You sign his agenda that he did 30 minutes and whatever doesn't get done doesn't count against him. Our SD offered that to me, but with Wynter's anxiety it was a no go for me. For me, it was school work during school hours only. IOW, no homework. She tests above average in all subject areas, so I wasn't worried about her slipping academically. Our SD has K-4 in elementary schools, 5 and 6 in Middle School, and 7 and 8 in Intermediate School (Junior High is what we called it growing up). Since Devon is 4 years ahead of Wynter, I found quickly that the Junior High was checking the agenda's everyday, but the Middle School was not. When I brought it up when Wynter was in 6th grade - Middle School - they said that kids at that age should be responsible for writing down their assignments (this was before her IEP). So, I pointed out the difference in expectations in the same SD - they expected MORE out of the younger kids - and they went.....OH. Then they started to make some changes. It wasn't like my kid was the only one having an issue with it. [/QUOTE]
