[quote=Anonymous]What happens at school if he doesn't do his homework?

I try to make homework an issue between DC and school and I stay as far out of it as possible. No screen time until homework is done, but other than that, it's DC's obligation to do homework and school's obligation to deal with it if he doesn't.

But my kid is in elementary school -- I would likely feel differently if my child was older.

And for the person who was excused from doing multiple drafts because it was hard and her first draft was good -- I totally disagree with that approach. Learning how to revise your work is a crucial skill regardless of how good your first draft is. Instead, you work around what makes revisions hard. If it's the act of re-writing, you use a human scribe or technology (probably only a scribe was feasible when we were kids). You write the draft skipping lines and write in your revisions and are excused from a clean copy. If it's the flexibility about thinking about alternative ways to do something, that is absolutely a skill that needs to be taught -- scaffolded as necessary, but not just ignored.[/quote]
