[quote=Anonymous]It’s a hard balance. My kid with learning disabilities felt like he worked harder than anyone else, and for sure work was harder and more painful than it was for others…but he actually spent less time than other kids because it was so frustrating, exhausting, and unpleasant. He did have to work harder all day in school to learn - attention was harder, work was harder, emotionally it was harder because he always felt stupid. So school was just HARDER. All of this is just to say that you can’t really compare his number of hours (or minutes!) doing homework to other kids’. He is already working harder, just because he starts with the academic disadvantages that he does. So he is probably pretty tapped out when he gets home from school.[/quote]
