[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a thread for kids who do not do homework? I couldn't find it and I'd love to read what's worked for others. I nearly wept when I saw all the paper that my child's teachers gave DC last year (8th) that DC never even looked at, let alone completed. Yes we were monitoring up until 8th grade but DC would drag it out, lie about it, cry about it, and carry on and beg us to stay out of it. So we did that for one year. DC ended the year with reasonable grades (nothing below a C) but when he threw out the year's papers it was so sad to see worksheet after worksheet untouched.[/quote] This is going to sound like a criticism but I'll say it anyway -- doesn't this seem to imply that the monitoring and training in homework skills needed to be continued past 8th grade? Kids generally need to be taught and trained to do homework, fading adult intervention as the child exhibits responsibility for doing so. [/quote]
