[QUOTE="Martie, post: 37768, member: 284"] I certainly agree that everything should be explicit. However, "all" the homework being handed in by the following Monday would create a nightmare the entire weekend in many of our homes. Both type and AMOUNT of homework can be restricted via IEP. The restriction can also be in terms of time: ex-difficult child did "homework" in a study period and lunch. It was written into his IEP that if he could not complete in the alloted time, then his teachers had to figure out how to reduce assignments. He never brought anything home if the teachers misjudged. (The math teacher tended to "use up" all the time; distributing the time became their problem.) Why this system worked is AT SCHOOL (but not at home) ex-difficult child worked quickly and efficiently and completed substantial work in 70 minutes. This system had a positive effect of making the teachers consider carefully which assignments were "worth it" in terms of using up the 70 minutes. Martie [/QUOTE]
