[quote=Anonymous]Two of my kids have LDs When they come home, they're exhausted. They've given their best at school and are done by the time they get home. I'm not going to push homework - for what purpose. Research is pretty clear that homework at the elementary grades provides little benefit. And, my kids have private therapy appointments after school. There's no way I'm pushing homework on those days. At the beginning of the school year, I make sure the teachers are aware of what my kids do after school and my position on homework. We also have it written into the kids' IEPs that home work will be kept to a minimum and that time will be made available during the school day if it's required.[/quote]
