[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here - my son gets As on tests. Therefore he thinks homework is a complete waste of time. I need the "it gets better" campaign speech![/quote] college teacher here. "homework" will be 10-25% of your son's grades in college. I teach literature and homework means reading responses. Every semester I have smart students who write brilliant papers but who didn't read the books they didn't write on. They get Cs. This isn't going to change for him. He needs to do his homework. My husband works with brilliant computer coders who don't do documentation (it is tedious and boring); their careers stagnate. This isn't going to change for him. Maybe a school with better homework, less busy work? godo luck. It is impossible to make people do things they don't want to do (I have a stubborn son too). Don't make it your fight. Hopefully he will learn in his own time.[/quote]
