[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine's in 1st and I'm making him do his homework.  They get a packet that they get on Monday and have to turn in on Friday.  DS has been tested up the wazoo including neuropsych testing and there is no reason he shouldn't be able to do it so I feel it's my job to make sure he does it.

If you feel that there is a reason due to your child's disability that he cannot do his homework, I would put it in his IEP.[/quote]

I feel the same way even though I agree with your sentiment, OP (or with your expression of exhaustion). I don't think that the homework has any academic merit and it takes a lot of work on my end but I think that there is value in creating some study habits from early on. I also want my son to take responsibility for his school work and the couple of times he has pushed back really hard, I have always said, "Okay, don't do it. But you have to explain why to your teacher yourself" and luckily this has been enough--or maybe his anxiety is greater than his distaste for it! I guess I am fortunate that, despite the grumbles (and the ADHD), my second grader hasn't really pushed back too hard.[/quote]
