He was really behind and has 2 F's! I cracked down on for the last few weeks and he FINALLY decided to do the right thing! Can't believe it took so long and now look at him b/c of his refusal to do anything he is up at midnight still doing home work. }:)

Ds did not get done with his home work till 1:30 am!! I really think it is funny. He was hiding assignments and it caught up with him! That is what you get for putting it off!

Its really shocking that the child is doing homework till 1.30 am.I can't even blame the teachers for giving so much of homework as it is important for their growth as well as progress.The parents should also concentrate on their children study.Its nice blog here.Thanks a lot for posting it here.

my sd now 15 did that too...my "right back atcha".... }:)
i went online and printed up worksheets at her level. and made her do them when she was with us even though she claimed "no homework" i told her "o honey, sorry to bust your bubble, but YES YOU Do" and showed her this lovely stack of papers....the words THAT'LL TAKE ME ALL WEEKEND!!! was like music to me }:)

she tried playing that "we havn't gone over that yet" card. I told her if not, you soon will be, here's an example, get busy. she asked for a break about an hour later }:) i told her "sure, you can take a break from homework....." pause....she gets up and starts to head off to the tv...interupted her half way to the living room "where you going" she said " to take a break" told her, "i said you could take a break, not watch tv" she said that's what i want to do, i told her, well, you didn't seem to care what your dad wanted you to do, so now i don't care what YOU want to do....go do the dishes, when you're done, get back to homework. kept her busy ALL weekend. then told her, had you not been hiding your homework you'd only have to do what teach assigned since you decided not to do what SHE assigned, you're going to do what SMOM assigns

boy did grades come up fast! and they have been A's and B's since hehe

Yep I will tell you this is an on going battle with this kid. I have done everything I can. I even have the teachers calling everyday to make sure he goes to the tutoring program after school. He would come home and tell me that they didn't need him there or some otehr excuse then he told his teachers that he was too busy at home to go. We finally got that under control. He told me not last nioght but the night before "be prepared to give me all my stuff back". I just laughed at him b/c it will take it the end of the year for his grades to come up!

I know sometimes I want to smack this kid up side his head with a frying pan! What is his problem!? I know he has autism but I refuse to let him use that as an excuse not to do his work or keep up. I know he can do it he is just lazy. I know it is harder on him but I have told him that it just means he has to work harder top achieve what everyone his goals. Sorry dude it is just the way it is. I also refuse to have him any kind of program to make his school work less then the other kids he has to figure out how to adjust with out special accommodations. Yes I'm being a little hard but his future boss will not give him special accommodations. HE needs to learn how to do it now so that he will know how to do it when he is an adult.

well, i think you are doing the right thing.

"mommy wont be around forever" better for him to learn while you are here, instead of "crutching" his way through life then be sol when you kiss the dirt once and for all

I think that you should look at why. Does he have a hard time understanding or concentrating? If so he might need extra help. Try to sit with him and help him through it as much as possible or he might see it as a huge task that he has to complete on his own. You can offer to let him choose where he will do his homework each day (it should be somewhere where he can work on a table if he is writing, but if he is reading it could be anywhere). Also let him choose the order that he will do it in and provide him with a break if necessary (half before dinner, half after).

I cannot tell you if several hours of homework per night is too much for your child. But what I would suggest is the following:
Ask yourself, "Is my child stressed or sick by the end of the homework period?" or "Is he/she having fun or reviewing or redoing the homework because he/she wants to?" "Why does my child bring home so much homework? Do all the children in the class have the same amount? Does it take most other children about as many hours of homework as it does my child? Or does it tke my child a bit longer because he needs the extra time?"
Once you know these answers, your next steps would be to speak to your child about how he/she feels about the amount.

Homework is a pain in the butt. It's a necessary evil though! DH is a full time student and the kids are constantly bitching that all they see is the back of his head as he is studying. Come to think of it I got tired of it too! I am better able to occupy myself while he is busy though. We do spend time together, it's just not when the kids DEMAND it.
Balance is the keyword IMO. Homework is best done while it's still fresh in their minds.
I read a statistic one day that we forget 80% of what we learn! Homework helps with reiterating what they have learned.
I suck big time at math, DH is a math genius so he coaches them with math but they do not like how he does it....well...pay attention to the teachers at school then?
Kids grow up, regardless of what we do/don't do.

Hello! I know this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask. Does running a well-established website such as yours take a large amount of work? I am completely new to blogging however I do write in my diary daily. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
