[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in 9th and 12th grade.  One has SN and the other is in AP classes.  I’d take any homework they are assigning and immediately throw it out.  Your kid is 6 and should be playing after school.  The day is long and he shouldn’t have the attention or shouldn’t be working on HW.

What matters is he likes school.  I wouldn’t pull him if he likes it.  We pulled mine for private school when we had a serious bought of school refusal as a teen that started to trigger mental health problems.  A change was needed.

I pushed academics hard in the early years ask my oldest and homework in K because they assigned it and I didn’t know better. It caused him to hate school from day 1 and that’s about it.  [/quote]

Thanks for this perspective. He didn’t get homework from school - but we do have a great OG reading tutor and she assigns him a short amount of homework daily that just takes a lot of effort for us to get through. We’ve pulled back a bit, but he needs to learn to read and write. He will start getting some homework in first grade - I will consult with his teachers. In a SN private school, I think he’d have more built in support at school to accommodate kids who don’t necessarily learn well with homework.  [/quote]
