[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't about the punishments, its about the constant pushing for her to do things that are a struggle.  She disobeys because you are setting her up for failure.

over and over again: ease up on the requirements; let her do her homework alone and if she screws up let the teacher handle it and if the teacher doesn't handle it, get an IEP or a stronger IEP.  let her have fun.  Let her have her own space.[/quote]

She has an IEP.  We have attended countless meetings and have the strongest/best IEP possible.  I do not think it is fair for either the teacher or DD to have the entire sheet done wrong.[/quote]

If she's regularly getting large parts of her homework wrong - like an entire sheet wrong - then her teachers need to know that. It's a sign there's something *wrong* that needs to be addressed. Maybe her IEP isn't completely appropriate, and there's an additional issue that needs to be addressed, for example.

If it's once in a while she does an assignment completely wrong, then let it go. One bit of homework done wrong every once in a while is not a big deal, whereas letting your daughter direct her own homework is a big deal (to her).

I think posting on the special needs board makes sense. I suspect you might want to look into getting further tests done for your child so you can help make sure she has all the supports she needs. There is nothing more miserable than feeling stupid because no matter how hard you try you can't do something that everyone else is saying you should be able to do. I'm old enough that I have friends and relatives who were undiagnosed dyslexics, and even though *now* they know they have dyslexia, they still have that shadow of "I'm stupid" hovering over everything. It's terrible.[/quote]
