[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to be a very unpopular stance. But we LITERALLY gave up homework in 3rd grade for the same reason. In elementary school, our DD just didn’t do it (and we spent some miserable hours trying). In middle school, we made sure she had a resource class during school hours to do it and she had reduced homework on her IEP. In public high school, she had two resource classes. She’s now a junior in a private school that doesn’t give homework. Thank goodness. She’ll have to go to a college that has really good supports for kids like her, and/or she can primarily take classes that really interest her. She sure does do a TON of homework in her areas of interest - she spends hours researching. They just happen to not align with anything related to the high school curriculum.[/quote]

OP here. DC is in late elementary. We also never insisted on homework before because they are 2e and well ahead. But now they are in the advanced track and homework seems to be graded/collected so I am nervous about saying don’t do it. They don’t need the extra practice now but I think at some point they will. It’s only supposed to be like 15 minutes but when they are hyper it can take way longer because it’s like work for 2 minutes, talk for 5. We definitely need to insist they are in a room alone but they HATE that. Ahh.

They have all the meds the dr. will prescribe. Not against meds or more meds but the balance is pretty difficult so I am not looking for more. [/quote]
