[QUOTE="1905, post: 415794, member: 2668"] Personally, tell him he doesn't have to do homework. In my school district, in NJ, kids do not HAVE to do homework. Only because some parents think it's "ok" for their child to not do it. So, these children are not allowed to be penalized in any way. For the first few months of this school year, these kids-there are quite a few of them-were staying in for recess. They were being punished. At a faculty meeting we were told that it's not the child's fault, but the parent's. And the child just didn't have to do it. At that point, it became fine for any kid not to do his homework. I'm not even joking. If it's going to cause this much anxiety and heartache for difficult child, tell him he doesn't have to do any homework. At least he'll get to school and hopefully stay there. It's just a start. Once he feels more comfortable, then he can do homework. Some pressure wil be off him, he'll feel better. He has to go, don't even get into a back and forth thing about why you need to work. [/QUOTE]
