Well, you guys are my resource for school and other questions.

I just thought I'd get your opinion.

I think my 9 year old is getting too much homework. He has a tic

disorder, and it is definitely brought on by stress. Well, he's

started the tics again in the past few weeks after not seeing them

for 6 months.

So besides his every day homework of 2 worksheets of

language/writing and math, a math problem of the week, and reading

fo 20 minutes every night. was assigned a written and oral

report on an artist last Tuesday due yesterday. He got 10 pages of

worksheets on American Indians last Thursday, and it is due on

Wednesday. The he got a report on earthquakes yesterday, and that is

due on Wednesday. He also has a school winter musical tonight.

He's in 4th grade. He's gifted. He scores in the 90% on the

standardized tests, and he feels totally overwhelmed. He had to

spend the weekend on homework. He was up until 9:30pm last night

trying to finish his earthquake report. He hasn't played much with

his friends.

Writing is also 's weakest activity. He is very slow and

tedious. If he has the time, he does a great job. He just needs to

have more than a night to write a report. It's also hard because he

can't stay at home alone, so the girls and I are stuck at home while

he's doing homework. I am so tired of every afternoon being stuck

at home, and then stuck at home on the weekends. It's really hard

when we have to take to speech or I have to take any kids to

the doctors or to get their hair cuts. I'm overwhelmed.

I just don't know what to do. I know I never had this much homework

as a kid, and I don't know what is acceptable for kids today. Of

course, I'm also worried about how will ever be able to do

this much work when she is 9.

Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Suzi
