[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 431491, member: 4334"] Oh, Susiestar, where were you tonight? (Wish you were here in my house on my shoulder) I wish I would have read your post prior to this evening. Wintak, I am completely having pretty much the same issues as you are; however my child is 16 and in 10th grade. This semester I've let the school handle all the missing homework (told them I would at the end of last semester), as it was creating so much chaos at home, it was never pleasant to be here. Alas, here my gfg16 sits with- THREE F's, one of which is in her General Ed (Special Education I think) class - hth you can fail that class is beside me. The school has not followed through on their part with her IEP in regards to keeping up on the assignments, and yet again this semester is con-sequencing her the LAST 3 weeks (late school/detention each week). Never mind you, that I called them 3 weeks in to the semester to inform them (shouldn't they know) that she was missing work, and was kindly informed that they were going to wait it out and see if she could turn it around. HA! So, end of semester, it's Finals. Gfg16 was given a TAKE HOME final, told she can use whatever means to answer it. Has until Tuesday. I say okay, 30 minutes each day working on it. "Sure Mom! I will do it later." HAHAHAHA - the baloney that comes out of these kids' mouths really bites! 'Later' arrived as it was an hour til bedtime, she refused, told to go to room (upstairs), she refused, told to go to the dining area (can't see tv), she refused. I was trying to watch American Idol, I rarely watch tv programs I want (maybe 1 or 2 hrs a wk). So I pick up the tv (tube and heavy) and haul it into my room, hunt down another cable cord, get everything plugged in, sit down, and WTH, 3 minutes left of the show! Man was I angry! Now, after reading this thread, and SusieStars response, I sit here and go - man was I stupid! I'm NOT going to stress over this stuff again. It's her EASY final exam, if she wants to NOT do it, so be it, then she will fail that class even more so (already and F, but exam could raise it hopefully to a D). Because, like SS said, I truly am the only person who cares, not only about a letter grade, but about the fact that I want my difficult child to have some knowledge in her bank - but screw it, why care? Why, when all it did was infuriate me soooo much that I wasn't able to be a nice parent to my other two kids. (sorry wintak to post all my gunk in here, but both posts are related. Homework has ALWAYS been an issue with this, at least this semester I've avoided the physically violent rages over homework issues) With all that said and done, Can you really have an IEP that says NO HOMEWORK? Seriously? How? Tips? Please? Does that go for High School too? <phew, by the way, I DO feel a little less stressed after letting all of that out> [/QUOTE]
