[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that homework is valuable for early elementary school students. I also don't think that disobeying legitimate authority when the request isn't harmful is an acceptable habit to condone (ignoring relatively small amounts of work assigned by the teacher could easily escalate). I especially don't think that consist disobedience to parents should be taken lightly. In this case I would care more about the pattern of defiance than about him doing the assignments themselves. He would be required to sit at the kitchen table for 15 minutes with the homework and a timer. I would write the teacher a note saying we were doing this and that he would be turning in whatever he was able to do by the end of the time. Both DS and I would sign the note after I read it out loud to him, because I believe in kids taking ownership of their choices. [/quote]
