[QUOTE="DDD, post: 566936, member: 35"] In retrospect I did exactly what Kathy did. Truthfully at the time I didn't realize that it was a poor choice. There were three of the children I remember helping. My first easy child (in early elementary) and the two difficult child grandsons (one gifted and the other with some deficits) were the three. I was part of the CD famiy with difficult child#2 and decided to have his IEP include that homework would be done at school which worked well. difficult child#1 is the least academic although he had the highest IQ. My first easy child :applause:had arithmetic worksheets [B]one[/B] time in 2nd grade. I picked up the sheets and said "why don't you double check your answers on page one?" She burst into tears and said "that would be cheating, Mommy". I reassured her that it was not cheating. The next day she went to the teacher and said "I had help on this paper so I deserve an F." I never looked at her work again. Somehow I guess I should have figured out the underlying lesson then for subsequent kids but I blew it with the difficult child grandsons...so I guess I cheated them out of self confidence. Sigh!
