Homework is really never fun. It's not fun for parents either to enforce homework time on a tired kid especially after not seeing said kid all day AND when several evenings are spent at practice. We knock out some homework as soon as Collin gets home while he is having a snack. He likes math and spelling so we choose one of these to work on because it's not as much of a struggle (aka fight) to get him started. Getting him to read is still a challenge. He is supposed to read for 30 minutes a day...mainly to build up his endurance while reading. We can squeeze out 15 minutes but then the excuses start after that.
Today, he went over to a friend's house and....they did math homework! Yeah, at least his 10 minutes of math was finished by the time he got home. He can go back over there ANY TIME he wants.
After he got home, I was working so he joined me in the office to work on spelling words. He has to write them at least once on his weekly calendar that he turns in to the teacher ever morning. Here is what that looked like from my viewpoint:
