Cc6-
I do understand what you are saying about not really wanting to do afterschool "school", as I don't either. Yet, I am doing it. My ds is in kindergarten, so the homework is not very time intensive. Ds has has been doing the week of homework for school on Monday. Then, he works more at his level the rest of the week. 1 funny thing is he finds way to make the schoolwork more challenging and I send that all in (the required work and how he expands on it.) also, he does get computer time (which he loves) afterschool. I make that time for educational games. Not sure if this helps, but it's what I'm doing inconjunction with fighting for differential at school. I can say we did have our first victory. Ds took star test and AR level, so that he can finally at week 10 read at his level! Now, I am going to work on language arts. I am hoping that with the AR level, this will be easier.
