Homework Frustration

Homework FrustrationDoes homework cause conflict in your house? Do you dread going home to yet another evening of frustration? You’re not alone!

Long and tiring homework stints can be caused by poor attention, reading, comprehension, processing speed, and executive functioning deficiencies. Kids may also not understand the work, know how to how to organize it, manage their time, plan projects, take notes, or quite simply be unable to sustain focus. They are frustrated and can take hours to complete simple assignments that can be completed in 20 minutes!

We have many students who are bringing home unfinished classwork to finish at home in addition to homework. This is inappropriate as students with learning disabilities should not be penalized for having executive functioning and learning difficulties. It’s not easy for these kids, so it’s normal to expect them to act out when something is painful.
