[QUOTE="nvts, post: 117877, member: 3814"] Anna, I can agree with you to a degree. Some kids have such extreme situations within their lives, that homework actually becomes a "de-motivator" rather than a reinforcement of what they've learned. In some of these kids lives, they have so much going on in their heads, hearts and homes that to push homework to the point of what can often become a physical confrontation and could undo a lot of work within that child's realm borders on cruel. (Whoa, if that's not a run-on sentence, I don't know WHAT is!!!). [img]:smile:[/img] Luckily, my 9 year old has embraced homework, but there were times that he fought so hard that he would make himself bleed scratching his arms to get me to let him not do an assignment. Just my opinion (and I hope that I'm NOT offending others!). Beth [/QUOTE]
