Sorry if this study is old or this topic has been done to death but is there really any benefit for home work?

My dd is dyslexic, 10 year old, and is really struggling at school. Home work is a total battle and pretty much has always been so.

She hates it, resents doing it and often ends up in tears. Tonight I was the one in tears.

Is it all for something or just a massive emotional waste of time?

Any replies very gratefully received.

Thank you in advance.

Cloud I thought you had misunderstood but I can certainly see why as some of my posts have been rather garbled! I can usually make myself well understood face to face but sometimes my posts do get a bit jumbled!

Yes, Cloud I will need to ... try to find the sort of stuff that will suit my dd.

I will keep going, not give up (although at times I feel like it)! Posting her has really helped me to order my thoughts (a little!) and really want to do the best for my dd.
