[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 74677, member: 3837"] I hate homework with my middle and youngest difficult child. For that matter, I hate homework with my middle easy child too. I don't really understand half the stuff they send home. Writing their spelling words 5 times each in cursive? I mean, more than half of my kids are gifted students, they have additional projects on top of regular homework and this is what you want them to do with their time? I know they say it helps them recall the spelling and helps them with handwriting, but with my gifted kids, this DOES NOT help. It makes them cranky over busy work. It causes more problems/frustration at home. With my 1 non-gifted kid, homework is the biggest headache EVER. I get the same BS the teacher does of "I don't know." with more than half of the questions. Or halfas* answers because he doesn't really want to put the effort into writing the answer out. I am soooo with you in that battle! I'm sorry you feel manipulated. I've begun to have them do all their homework on Monday when they get it for the week. If they don't get it for the week, I ask for it for the week. Then Monday is a bear of a day, but the rest of the week is homework battle free. [/QUOTE]
