[quote=Anonymous]We had our son re-do work at home when we found mistakes in it. We explained that it was important that he understand how to complete his work correctly so that we knew he understood the concepts. That meant re-doing work with mistakes at home. The mistakes at school greatly decreased because he didn't want to do it at home. When he made a mistake it was because he didn't understand something and needed it reviewed to learn the concept, not that he was rushing work.

We did out best to not treat it like a punishment and to focus on his understanding the work he was assigned. We have had to do this a few times in MS, mainly when we see multiple grades in the grade book that were below what we thought he was capable of. We asked him to show us the work  so we could understand what he wasn't connecting and we walked through that work with him. After a week or so of reviewing the work and helping him understand how to make the connections he was missing, we didn't have to do it any more. [/quote]
