[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 566420, member: 6546"] And for some kids - this totally works. My DS will do homework, projects, extra-credit....whatever. My difficult child? Fuhgeddaboutit! After all these years, difficult child still pretty much does nothing extra. Most of the time, the teachers have let it slide and she has passed many of her classes by the skin of her teeth. Now, in her senior year of high school - she has a math class that she absolutely must pass in order to graduate. The teacher is being a stickler for homework. So at the moment - difficult child is flunking. The solution would be for difficult child to start doing the homework. Instead, difficult child is petitioning the guidance counselor to let her switch to a math class in which the teacher is not such a stickler for homework. (That's right, if a teacher is requiring homework - just get a new teacher...) So I don't have a solution to the homework issue. Some kids understand that they need extra practice or need to do the work to keep up their GPA. While others either don't get it - or simply don't care. [/QUOTE]
