I am so glad to see others struggling with this question. After a half a year of tedious required practice that my DS could have done 2 years ago, I seriously considered replacing his homework with work that I generate (and yes, I am a licensed teacher). However, we have required DS7 to do the work that is sent home while we continue to fight for work that actually meets his needs (making slow but sure progress there). We do not require the "extra" assignments because DS7 is involved in plenty of enriching activities that are usually better than what is sent home anyway...and he is slow as molasses so he seldom finishes anything fast enough to do the "extra" work anyway.
