[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 534747, member: 6557"] I frequently type for my kids. But I do agree with asking the questions: Is the assignment to write or to type?, and Is it a reasonable amount of work? When my oldest was in 3rd grade he had significant spelling issues, and could not spell even simple word. Yet his teacher gave him more and more difficult words as time went on. I asked if he could not get these why did you give him those? She responded that the county required her to give a standard set of word to all kids, and that she was not allowed to deviate from the standard list even though she agreed that he had no chance of learning the list. (no child left behind law - hook a chain to them and drag them, but don't leave them behind). Thus I believe, it is a hard line to walk. You do want to teach then to be honest and moral. But when the school system becomes completely unreasonable and out of control you also can not feed the child with a disability to the wolves and yes a little help is sometimes the more ethical approach. Although if the issue is that he waited until the last minute, I would let him struggle at least a little. For reading issues we would ether check out an audio book from the library or read the book to the boys. Thay were still required to read the books themselves, but supplementing their reading with the audio books really helped build up their comprehension. With time this helped improve their comprehension even when no audio book was available. [/QUOTE]
