[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 402690, member: 6546"] I think this is a good question for the teacher. Let her know the homework issues at home. Let her know you are going to back off to make it less of a battle zone in your home... Then if he does the homework? Great! If he doesn't, it's a school issue and he can explain to the teacher why it wasn't finished. You may be very surprised to discover that it just isn't worth all the stress and effort that you are putting in. The teacher will probably tell you that he is not the only student who always has issues with completing homework assignments. The homework (or lack thereof) may also not impact his grades as much as you'd think. No - he won't get straight As....but he probably won't fail either. I think you should set up a homework routine for afterschool (such as come home, have a snack, 30 minutes of work at the kitchen table, then chores, etc). If he doesn't have homework -that's fine, he can study or review his notes or whatever - but he must put in that 30 minutes. Let him know that you are available to help if he needs it...and then leave it be. [/QUOTE]
