we're in a similar boat and i feel like calling the school and just saying everythign i think..tonite my DD's homework was to create an AB pattern out of a red and blue apple. Last night she had to "sing happy birthday to 5 children in her class, and have parent write the kids names in your homework notebook"..

however..after dealing with the school for yesrs with my other child, i've learned the hard way that, unfotunately, you usually have to work very hard to preserve the ego of the teacher while at the same time getting your point across. This can be a tiresome process but generally goes like this "i don't know what to do, Sally just doesn't seem to be herself at homework time".. "what do you mean?".. so they are now in role of"solving" the problem..then add lots of "What do you thinks"..gently leading them to conclude what you already knew when you picked up the phone. good luck smile
