[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 425700, member: 84"] Svengandi I'm no genius..............but I used to be a difficult child. Have to say I shared your son's view on homework. I suppose I should say "share" as for the most part I still feel that way, at least in the lower grades to some extent. I think they've gone over board in the homework dept. Teachers used to ask me why I flat out refused to do homework. I'd reply because school was between such and such hours.......the rest was MY time, not school time. lol That said, I never flunked a class. Stayed on honor roll in High School. Even graduated with almost twice as many credits as I needed. Wasn't that I didn't like school or learning. But there was a set time for school and in my difficult child mind, that is when school stuff should take place. Had some issues with geometry.......teacher got around my stubborness by having me come in for extra help during my 2 study halls. lol It worked......I got A's. Forgot it the moment the class was over though. I never did "homework" or even studied until almost 30 yrs later when I went to college. Still didn't like it, but college is college and I was footing the bill. lol Did make for some strange homework wars though with my own kids. I felt like a hypocrite for years. [/QUOTE]
