[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much homework does she have? I would tell her that she needs to work hard -- doing her best work -- for 10 minutes (not including reading). You will write a note excusing her from doing any homework not done after that. But it's 10 minutes of working, not 10 minutes of complaining or staring into space or picking at the lint in her carpet. I've done that with my kids (10 minutes per grade, so we're up to 50 minutes for my 5th grader) and the only times the homework wasn't completed in the designated time was when my child truly didn't understand the work, and it was good for her teacher and me to know that. Knowing that there is an end time makes it easer for my children (one with ADHD, one without) to buckle down and do the work.[/quote] But you have no idea how old this kid is. 10. min way be way too little.
