[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 256860, member: 10"] Hi, The homework issue is not just one for parents of challenging kids but the question especially in the light of the latest research is whether homework should be given in the first place. There is no benefit especially for primary school , kids don't need to work a second shift , parents don't need another issue which interferes with their relationship with their kids and kids don't need this trigger = which undermines the love of learning. So it is not just getting no homework or accomodations on an IEP , all kids don't need this ' busy work'. Teacher - Johny , did your mother help you with your homework ? Johny - No , she did it all herself Alfie Kohn's parenting book - Unconditional Parenting is a great companion for the Explosive child. He has many articles on parenting, education and business issues on [url]http://alfiekohn.org[/url] Allan [/QUOTE]
