homework hassels
"V" wrote in message ... hey Betty. The problem is that they do not get off the bus until 4:30. V Bus? You mean not all of your kids live across the street from the school like mine? LOL Sorry, I guess I forgot how easy I have it living so close. Also, getting off work at 2:45 and home by 3:00 sure helps too! Betty |

homework hassels
"V" wrote in message ... 10 years old and the amount of homework is amazing! Whoo.. My son is in grade 3, and get less homework now than when he was in first grade. In first grade, he used to get an hour or more worth of home work every night until a few parents wrote to the principal and complained. The teacher was a real academic (and B*tch), and should NOT have been teaching primary children. She made more than one parent cry, not to mention the kids. Thank goodness she is no longer at our school. Betty |

You think you could come over and make him do it? =) kidding. I think I might clear some more distractions, but what do I do with his sibling? I do not want to punish her with quiet, no tv, etc, if she had the incentive to do her homework on the bus, and timely and accurately? Well, that's part of being a family. He'll go to her plays and games, she'll sit through his recitals, etc. Sometimes he will require more of your attention and sometimes she will. Sometimes you'll need more from them than at other times. Right now it's about him. :-) lm |

homework hassles
"Bebe lestrnge" wrote in message ... homework hassles Bev wrote: I have two very different children as well, My first in no way prepared me for the second ! LOL! Jessica is the one that it all came to easy , Sara has learning disabilities and so also has an IEP. My son also has an IEP and is being tested for ADD. I don't know if he actually has ADD, or is just being 8, but I know with the IEP, at least he gets extra help at school. He works with the resource teacher twice a week right now, and if he is diagnosed as ADD, will get extra time with her and also the school psychologist. I know people hate to have their kids labelled, but if means my kid will get extra help, then I'm all for having a label applied to him. Our big thing is reading and retention. He is ok in other subjects, but he has a really hard time with reading. He is supposed to read for at least 15 minutes every day, and it is a constant battle to get even that much from him. He also has a hard time retaining information he has learned. He always does really well on spelling test (usually 100%), but will not remember the word 2 days down the line. This leads me think it might not be ADD he has, but some other form of learning disability. B |

I did not like my child repeatedly having someone thug him on the forhead. She made it seems as though I overreacted, but with his connective tissue disorder and the fact I teach them no one is to touch them, especially painfully and then...well, I am confused myself, but I did not like it at all. How would you guys have handled this situation? curiously, V |

Oh Kate...thanks for the reminder....it will only get worse! hee hee....
V 'Kate wrote in message news On Fri, 20 Feb 2004 22:28:14 GMT, "V" 10 years old and the amount of homework is amazing! Whoo.. Like David said... make it a habit and it'll become automatic. You'll have to keep on him when he starts to slack off and you may have to call a few teachers to ask about homework (they lie you know) but it'll pay off. If it helps any, lots of 10 year old boys go through this. Next stage is forgetting to hand it in or give you notes from teachers. Then the report card, absence notes, etc... oh it's lots 'o fun.
