it is so heartbreaking to see my son fall apart after only two days at high school..... due to homework. I had meetings with the school last year and assumed they had briefed all his teachers. I am now emailing all his teachers individually. No doubt some will be sympathetic and some not. In Australia, in an independent school, what rights do we, as parents have, to insist our son not be penalised for being unable to attempt or complete homework? He has very mild Aspergers too, so he is completely overwhelmed with starting high school and all the changes that entails. he holds it together at school but is falling apart at home.
