For elementary school students, my two oldest have boatloads of homework, but they approach it totally different. Ben struggles, is distracted easily and has to be reminded to get going on it constantly. He is a smart kid, but paper homework is not his thing. He would do better if we could let him do 15 minutes of homework at a time with a 15 minutes break in between. But we don’t have time for that with all of our evening and afterschool activities. So we do the best we can. Then there is Madie. I wish that all could be like her. She immediately comes home to get her work done. Then she works on extra projects that either the school has sent home or she has made up. When it comes to the homework department, Madie rocks. But Ben will be the one who will put together the Eiffel Tower out of toothpicks and take my vacuum apart just to figure out how it works. That is a blessing too! They all have their gifts. Thank God for that.
Homework, homework, homework.
