Dh and I have different approaches to our children's homework. They are year 7.
I make time for them todo it, make sure they have access to equipment and answer any questions.
Dh is literally doing the homework for ds, talking him through each point. He obviously doesn't get it and I think leave it and explain to the teacher he doesn't get it. It's been going on for hours with lots of shouting and stress on both sides. Ds has additional needs and the teacher needs to know he can't do the homework.
So my method, let him try to do it, get it wrong and let the teacher know he doesn't understand it and is too lazy to do it properly. Half the argument is about him guessing instead of measuring.
Dh method, keep explaining and arguing with him for hours until its done.
I know dh method means the homework gets done better but I really hate the arguing and fighting to get it done. Ds would rather have an argument then try to do it.
I think I under estimate what ds can do and dh over estimates him.
