[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 214684, member: 1233"] Does he have an IEP? IF so, maybe it is time to call another IEP meeting and have it said that all work is to be done at school - no homework. If he doens't have an IEP, hop over to the Special Education forum and htey can get you started with that - it really can help both you AND your child. TEll the teacher that you are willing to work with her but you are NOT willing to be spoken to like that. Encourage her to be more professional and less accusatory in her communications with you. Also tell her that your child is having major melt-downs over homework. It may not be worth it to do the homework fight. School can hand out whatever consequences they feel is appropriate for not doing homework. Your child may just have to take the natural consequences of not doing the homework. I am one of the moms who decided that I would no longer fight over homework. Period. They could take whatever consequences school dished out, but our home was NOT going to be a battlefield. It actually helped my child, as he was more able to recharge at home, so school wasn't as stressful. It is pretty common for our kids to hold it together very tightly at school so they don't have meltdowns. Then they come home and just can't hold it all in anymore and fall apart all over us. This is one reason I stopped pushing homework. Your child is probably very anxious, and if he is not having problems understanding the work, then it may help him AND the rest of the family if you are not fighting the homework battle. [/QUOTE]
