[quote=Anonymous]What is she doing during the brain rot breaks?  And how much homework are we talking about here?  A kid that ate with those difficulties should not be doing hours a night.  It’s just not realistic.  
There were years when I just basically said “we aren’t doing homework” because it really was too much for my kid.  After sitting in class for a long day, it’s a lot to ask them to sit at the computer and do more work for hours.

I would be tempted to say something like — 20 minutes of work.  Take a 10 minute break for a snack or to do sometime tell Just Dance (I know that’s  dated — but is there something similar?).  Then back for another 15-20 minutes and then that’s it.  Ask teachers if there is homework you can front load over the weekend.  Pick which classes the homework actually matters for (math?) or the classes where she might like the homework.  IME, you can skip most of HW for a class and still end up with a C or even a B.  That might be the right call here for a while.

She probably has the brain maturity of like a 10 year old but the school now treats 13 year olds like 15 year olds, so the gap is too large.[/quote]
