[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 322663, member: 1233"] Terry, is it maybe time to let difficult child have responsibility for his education? To tell school no more homework? I can see not being willing to step back. I also can see that he probably NEEDS the help to stay caught up and making progress. At some point, it really is okay to go to school and tell them that homework is ruining family time. That homework has become such an epic battle that your homelife is more like the battle scenes in Lord of The Rings than anything Norman Rockwell or even Erma Bombeck described. When it comes to the point of violence to you, self preservation and difficult child preservation are more important than math homework or lessons. Education is very important, but it is NOT more important than physical safety. Be sure the teachers at school know that he is becoming increasingly violent toward you on the homework issue. Safety has to come first. [/QUOTE]
