There were many days when I was in major tears over Maizie's homework and how behind she would get in school. This was grade K, 1 thru third! I was terrified what we had in store as the years went on. On more than one occassion I called the teacher crying. Maizie just could not complete homework after trying to survive the school day. Every night was a battle. I do not miss dealing with homework at all. If she is ever able to return to school I would pray the homework would be light. Good luck!!

My son really isn't settled down from school and ready to do it until nearly five, but that gives us very little time to squeeze in everything before bedtime. Sigh!

Plain and simple. Add Autism to the mix and I think it is just the teachers getting back at us for leaving our angels in their charge for a few hours. We are about to embark on the 'more than reading' homework with Boo this year. And I don't wanna. OMG, how I don't wanna! Homework sucks. Plain and simple.

My husband is a major procrastinator and he just doesn't get that my way is the right way,lol. At any rate, I commend you on your flexibility, I truly understand the depths of the decision making process you have undergone. I am not looking forward to the days of homework!
