[quote=Anonymous]This sounds exactly like my son who has inattentive ADHD. You should look into that.

In the meantime, do you have a sense for whether your son is learning the skills he should this year? Ignore the grades and look at his test scores. If he is testing well, I would either have him do 20 minutes of homework and 20 minutes of reading every night - or boycott the homework and do the reading only for the rest of the year. Is SOL preparation additional homework? Don't do that at all.

You can tell his teacher that the strain on the parent-child relationship homework is causing isn't worth it. Grades in 4th grade aren't either.

I volunteer in my second grader's classroom regularly and saw that she was getting very little work done. She's very distractable. She's wearing noise-cancelling headphones during independent work time and it helps quite a bit. She also brings unfinished math worksheets home. (This school has a no homework policy so I had to request this.) We work on those together until I know that she understands the concepts.[/quote]
