Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Is it standard/typical for a five-year-old first grader to be using regular notebook paper for handwriting assignments? Our son's teacher routinely gives our son 45 mins of homework a night, and now has requested he start doing it on wide-ruled notebook paper, with the goal being regular college-ruled paper before too long. He can barely form his letters without direction yet! The homework itself is really easy for ds, but the amount is ridiculous. We spend the 45 mins (sometimes more) fighting to get him to sit in the chair, to write neatly, etc., and when I ask him what he's writing, he can't tell me half the time -- he's just focused on getting it done, he's not paying attention to the content. We have an IEP coming up in two weeks, so I was hoping some of you could share what is and what isn't standard, and maybe some ideas on how to request changes in his IEP?
