I feel for you! I have 2 dd's with learning disablities (1w/ADD and 1 w/ dyslexia) and homework is a big issue in our house! It take us hours without adding anything extra. Some afternoon I truely want to run away!
If it was me, I would go into the school first thing tomorrow and talk with the teacher. Make sure you take your DD it is important for her to understand that her behavior is part of the problem and she needs to be part of the solution! Go in with a very friendly attitude! Tell her you had no idea that your DD was behind by 20 pages. Then ask what could be done to fix the situation. If the teacher doesn't offer any suggestion on what can be done. Maybe, you can suggest that your DD finish a certain amount every night for a week.
I have to deal with my 4 children's schools ALL of the time for very different reason. I have had good experiences and some not so good. But, I always go in with a smile on my face and a overly friendly attitude!! I always make it clear that we are a team, working together. |
