Homework is a group project here. I am now relearning multiplication and introducing my daughter to the times table. Beautiful thing, memorization. No need to think about everything all the time! We wouldn't have any pencils left... Hey, when did you stop by to photograph my pencils? Homework is a group project here.

It often ends in shouting (me) and sulking (him). And he's a chewer too, pens, pencils, erasers, any and everything except his nails. What he doesn't chew, he shreds. A large plastic paperclip he can bend and twist as he does his homework has been keeping him happy lately. How I wish schools would just ban homework.

They were a soft, yet durable plastic that the kids could chew on while doing homework... I can try to find them again if you think you might be interested :) I came across some pencil toppers one time in an OT magazine that were “chewies”.

Patrick will absolutely not appreciate his school life mixing with his home life (especially daddy time). Ew on eating pencils though. I shudder at the thought of homework next year.

I wonder if all that chewing on pencils is helping them to sit still and concentrate? Don't get me wrong it is gross and bad for the teeth. I'm just curious what the input is for folks who do it.

Thank goodness, this year, the kids teacher sends out "packets" at the beginning of the week to be done over the course of a week. She has Noddys "modified" so he does not have to do as much or as in depth as the other kids. Also, she stated very clearly that 20 minutes a night was enough for anybody--kids or adult. She said that she is tired after school, so she knows the kids are too. I still hate it because, with Noddy especially it is a fight! Niles will do it and NOT turn it in. I have been over this several times with the teacher already "Niles is afraid to turn in home work!" I do not know the source of this apparent neurosis but it is there. She must seek it out! He has it done!My Niles chews endlessly on pencils and gets nervous and eats crayons and erasers...and I mean he makes a snack out of them. Ah well, he likes paper and cardboard too. Yes, I have had him to the doctor. He just tells him to stop. Gee whiz.....on and on........ Well I for sure hate homework.
