Homework is something that is a major issue in our house constantly. I have it, Joseph has it, and even Caleb has it sometimes. I don't remember hating it when I was their age, but as I got older, it got harder, of course. And, took longer....
Now that I'm grown and in college, I have lots and lots of homework-especially since I go to school online. But, some of my classes I finish really fast. Those are the ones that I really like and am really good at. The other ones seem like they take forever because they are either subjects I hate or they're hard. That's the "homework" that really sucks.
Joseph is in second grade and I don't remember having homework at that age.But, he has it every night. He has to do math, spelling, and reading. Every night. Seems like a lot for a seven year old. And, he hates homework more than any kid I have ever seen. So, it always ends up being an argument just to get him to do it. Which, makes it take even longer.
And, it sucks. He pitches a fit about doing it. Then I get irritated because he's acting like that, which makes him frustrated. And, again, that makes it take longer. I wish teacher's didn't give so much homework, but I guess they have to....
Does anyone know any tips for getting kids to do homework without a fight? Or how to make it something that they want to do rather than something they have to do? If so, please feel free to comment. Thanks.
