bug asked:
My son is in the 6th grade this year and we are only in the 6th/7th week of school and my son is failing two subjects because he does not want to do his homework. I have been having his teacher email what has to be done everynight and when I ask him about those, he says that he left them at school or that he doesn’t understand them. Itry my best to help when he has a problem, but it has been a long time and I don’t remember everything. I s there anything that you could suggest that would help make my son do or like to do his homework and bring up his grades. Thanks so much.

My husband and I are looking to plan a vacation this year. We want to take a trip south- to tropical islands or florida area. We have a 9.5mo old and a 5yr old who is in kindergarten.

We have NEVER taken a vacation before. It will be only for one week but I didn’t want to do it in July or Aug because it is WAY too hot, especially for the baby (we are pasty north-easterners).
Would it be wrong to take him out of school for a week in late may or early june?
he has not missed any school yet this year and there is no spring break for kindergarten

He hates doing homework and he is behind the other kids. I want the best for him. So, how can his mom, grandmom and I get him excited about doing his homework without bribery,yelling, or spankings?
We’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work. Even if we put hime in room with no toys or tv, he just creates a bed using chairs and falls asleep!

Ms. AK asked:
My daughter has tested twice, both in 1st grade and 2nd and passed both times for the gifted and talented program at a school in another state. The school here doesn’t have a GT program to offer her. She’s getting really bored in school and getting in trouble for talking etc… how can I get her new school to start a GT program so she is more challenged? Or is there anything I can do at home to help her?
