[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 252866, member: 1233"] I am sorry this is such a tough issue. I know we had huge battles with Wiz about it also. I agree that an IEP tweak is in order. Sending notes to the teacher that homework isn't done because there was a problem is also a good idea. You might want to include a sentence or 2 saying that he will do the homework on the weekend, or that it should be graded on whatever part he got done, or whatever you want from the teacher. I mean let her know if you want her to do anything or if you are just letting her know there was a problem, Know what I mean?? It might be a good idea to actually LOOK at the amount of time difficult child 1 spends at school, and on homework. Personally I have always had a problem when my kids spend all day at school, get home about 4:30 or 5 and then have an hour or more of homework. they spend a LOT of time in school, homework is just too much for some kids. With Wiz math was our biggest battle. In the textbooks they usually arrange problem sets so that the harder problems are at the end and the easier ones are at the start. So if Wiz could do the last 3-4 problems correctly and easily I would not make him do the easier problems. If he had trouble with the last few problems he had to do them all though. sometimes the school has unreasonable homework expectations, in my opinion. I know kids who do an hour of homework a night for EACH class. The teachers heard that an hour a night was expected and they never coordinated to see if other teachers were giving an hour a night also. You might always think of getting difficult child 1 a planner to put hte assignments in, set aside X amount of time for him to do homework in and make sure he is home and in a place he can do the work for that time, and after that it is HIS job to turn it in, finish what he didn't do or take the consequences for not doing those things. in my opinion checking grades daily is like weighing yourself daily. It is a WONDERFUL way to drive yourself NUTS! Maybe set aside 1 day a week or even just 2 days a month to check on his grades. Maybe the 1st and 15th, or every other Monday, or something like that. It will give you an idea of the trends with-o making you take that rollercoaster ride up and down! Whatever happens, set aside some "MOM fun time" with the kids each week. Time wehre you do an activity with them, even if it is playing a video game or giving a back rub or tossing a ball or water balloon in the yard. Time to reconnect to them in a FUN way, so that they see you as more than just the person making them do homework and chores and things. It will be good for all of you. [/QUOTE]
