Of course Tommy was at an alternative Autism school but i had written into his IEP NO HOMEWORK EVER!! It was hard enough to GET HIM THERE! You're asking me to produce diamonds out of my ASS trying to get him to do homework. psshh EFF homework. lol My recent post BOOK PROMO!!!!
LOVE this. So I'm not the only one who fills in the reading chart on the last day of the month using two different color pens for authenticity? Kris :)
K has a reading log. And every day she comes home, looks me right in the eye (unbelievable, I know, but she does!) and announces in a loud voice, in the doorway that she's "NOT GOING TO READ MY BOOKS TONIGHT!" Yeah. What can I do? I e-mail the teacher, but that's about it.
Hahahaaaaaa - LOVE this! We just started with homework this year but I sort of hate doing it. And I wonder - when the hell did kindergarten homework get so hard. Sometimes, I have to call my husband over to clarify for me (or vice versa).
And after a full of school and an hour and a half on the bus and (depending on the day) a 2 hour therapy session at home - by the time we get to the homework, my son looks me in the eye and says "I am tired mommy" - that kills me. My recent post The Muppets (Sensory Film Screening)
I always freaking hated homework. It always seemed designed to waste my out-of-school time, especially the way the math classes were constantly set up. Homework seemed like more of a punishment than a learning tool. If and when there are kids in my future, I anticipate having the conversation many times over with teachers, that I don't care if my kid doesn't do their homework, in the volume that they load them up. Reading, yes. Hours of busywork? Nope. Assign a paper or something. Do some real teaching. My recent post Spreading the Good Word
My kid reads. The teacher wants them to read 15 minutes a night, 5 nights a week. My kid might read 3 hours one day and not touch a book for 2 days, so yeah, I'm the parent that takes that 3 hours and spreads it out over at least 6 days, if not more. Those assignments are geared towards getting kids who don't read to read. I can't keep my kid in books. It's not a problem. He just doesn't read the way they want him to. Next year, his IEP is saying "NO FRIGGIN READING CALENDAR!" I hate that damn thing. My recent post Monday Mojo – Finding Your Mojo
My kids have, thankfully, not been given any homework because some people think that 5 it too young for homework. (but some do not). I had an awful homework record in school and even college. I got an A- in Structures but could not take the follow up because o go a D in recitation (where they just went over the homework) I convinced teacher that I clearly didn't need that much practice and he ultimately changed the D.
I'm totally ot there yet, but I'm going to be the parent that only cares about homework in the classes that they're not excelling in, and I'm going to be that annoying parent that going to try to convince the teacher to agree with me. My recent post Giving the gift of 'No' for the Holidays
Have you been spying on us? Do you have a hidden camera in our house? Because that is SO us, too. Have I mentioned? I fucking HATE homework, Because? I DID MINE WHEN I WAS A KID and my parents were not involved in the least. But now, it seems it's MY JOB to do the kids homework with them, and nag them about it. And make them miss fun things that I WANT TO DO just so they get their fucking time wasting moronic homework done. ESPECIALLY the Special Ed school which is lovely in every way, EXCEPT they give Jacob homework he cannot POSSIBLY do on his own (and sometimes cannot do even with help), and 3 pages of it EVERY FUCKING DAY! (And if you want, I'll tell you how I REALLY feel about it.) (thanks for letting me get that off my chest.) My recent post Crash
OMG Jilly!! This sounds EXACTLY like our mornings! Tonight I told my son he only had to write every other sentence (because he was crumpled on the kitchen floor, wailing about his plight. I told him it was good to "let it all out" and that he should "have a good cry." The worst is when I tell his teacher, "We had a rough morning, and last night wasn't much better, so he didn't get to all of his math homework." When in actuality, I was drinking wine and glued to twitter while he watched "The Amazing World of Gumball" or episode 4.3 of "Adventure Time" for the 18th freaking time. ____I really hate that show.
I can relate to this one a little too well! The reading I've always let slide. Who effin' cares whether my daughter reads 15 minutes a day? Actually, she always does on her own so I don't have to track it. This year, I just can't stay on top of it! The packet is pretty confusing, and we end up forgetting assignments.
I once sent a note home with my kids homework, back when I was a huge asshole. It read "My son knows nothing that I have not personally taught him at home through his home work assignment. What is it that you actually do?".
