You asked what I think caused the change. There are several things: 1) family dynamics changed over the summer, problems resolved; 2) because the family problems were resolved, I was able for the first time to enter them into afternoon homeschool sports groups, about which she is very excited; 3) she is now in "high school" which makes her feel pretty grown up. <br /><br />I also am able (due to changed family dynamics) to do homeschool a little differently this year, i.e. I start the day with a fun game of sorts, I'm using a very old Konos homeschool manual which is actually a lower grade level; nevertheless my kids love the games. We're studying Paying Attention with this "extra" book. This past Friday I put items on a tray, they looked at it for a minute, then wrote down the ones they remembered. Fun things like this to start the day, with the promise of sports events to follow on certain days, have turned the tide for us. I guess it's the sandwich thing, "fun, work, fun."<br /><br />Hope this helps (and isn't too long :)Mary @ Redo 101http://redo101.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-7824902273004911482011-09-11T21:40:12.892-07:002011-09-11T21:40:12.892-07:00I love the comics.

That said, most kids need some home time to work on projects, that in my opinion, are far more interesting for them as they integrate all sorts of learning opportunities. <br /><br />An aside: What would you do or how would you handle a parent who does not want her child to have any homework - because they need "family" time. The child is not involved in any extracurricular activities either.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-40200171602304536182011-09-06T11:45:29.142-07:002011-09-06T11:45:29.142-07:00Kids today seem to get way too much homework, ther...Kids today seem to get way too much homework, there seems so much pressure on them. <br />I'm a procrastinator so if it was 'dull' (I probably mean maths), homework it could end up being finished off on the bus (waiting for the stops so the writing wasn't too shaky).
