[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 510549, member: 13038"] Do you get the feeling that he needs help with his academics, or that it's mostly reinforcing what he's done that day? If it's reinforcing (and I *completely* agree with you, that's way too much homework for a six-year-old, let alone a six-year-old with- a disability), I'd just skip the homework and explain to the teacher why, but that's me. If he has an IEP, have homework modifications added. Plus, consider stopping karate. I know my ADHD-type kid just doesn't function well in that kind of setting--he's better off playing/rough housing to blow off steam. Sad, because he really loves karate but he can't handle more "school" after school. [/QUOTE]
