Ending the Homework Hassle John Rosemond 9780836228076 Books

This book will trouble any enabling parents who blame teachers for an able student refusing to study. For others, willing to hold their children accountable, it offers a proven method to motivate students. I am a retired English teacher as well as former school principal. This was my go-to method for parents willing to take serious steps to make their non performing children own up to their responsibilities as students.

Ending the Homework Hassle John Rosemond 9780836228076 Books Reviews

Fantastic book! All parents with children in school MUST read this book! If you follow the principle, which are going to be tough to do, your life will be so much better!
I bought this book for my daughter to use with her kids. Several years ago I bought many copies to give to parents when I was working as a school counselor.
Wow was this my kid. In the center of the kitchen and wife hoovering about him. He loves x box and this is now what he gets as a reward when grade are kept up. Push more responsibility onto him, painful at first but stuck to my guns and is paying off. Mind you he will still want to slip back in his way, and my wife follow. Not me. I see the manipulation and will not fall in the trap. Thanks for a great book.
It gives a few good ideas on how to address kids not doing homework. Its not a complete solution but gives a few tips that may help you understand whats going on with the kid. Thats probably more helpful than the how to get the kid to do the homework.
I wanted to rate this 3.5 stars

This book will probably work well for you if you are the typical parent whose kids have too many "privileges" such as their own TV, own phone, own computer, lots of social time with friends, etc. to take away and restore, which is probably why your children are having homework problems in the first place.

On the other hand, if your homework-challenged child does not have a lot in terms of things to take away, this book doesn't offer much in terms of remedies. Not every parent wishes to or can afford to give their child a computer, or a TV--or maybe the child is a voracious reader and could care less about being confined to quarters. Are you going to take away all of a child's books for failing to do homework (much of which is pointless anyway, to be honest here, and smart children know this)? Somehow I doubt it.

As to his checklists that he wants the teacher to sign off on, well, good luck. Not only do teachers have more and more admin work these days, the schools in many cases are trying to push the daily signing off nonsense onto the parents with those unnecessary student planners. Either the work is done, or it isn't. Daily check-off sheets are just an annoyance to the adults who have to deal with them.

What is most valuable about this book, is the way he explains how the responsibility for homework completion should be on the child, and that it is not your job to be teaching concepts, helping with homework and signing off on checklists.

Unfortunately, the schools have brainwashed parents into actually doing homework and projects with and for their children under the guise of "being involved" --to the point of textbooks and worksheets assigning homework telling parents to do flashcard practice, or other drill work!!

These days, you really have to stand firm when you tell the teacher (at the beginning of the school year) that you expect your child to be assigned homework that does NOT involve you (other than perhaps to purchase needed supplies or drive to the library), and that you expect your child to be graded accordingly because he/she is doing his/her own work. Yes, you are an interested parent, you go to the Open Houses and Parent Conferences, but you are firm in your resolve that school is your child's responsibility, or "job", if you'd like to think of it in those terms.

I feel this book needs to be revised somewhat (it is from the early '90s), because he does not address how bad this shoving off of responsibility from the teacher/school to the parent has become of late.
In an easy and approachable style, Mr. Rosemond provides well organized suggestions for dealing with the drama of homework struggles faced by many parents. After reading the book, I felt empowered to guide my child firmly through what has been a difficult situation for many years. The caveat we have only just begun the process, and it will probably take a month or two of effort to know if results will be lasting. Also, the book emphasizes the detriment of excessive TV watching on children's formation of necessary life skills. I imagine the principle is the same, but I would like to see an update of the book to specifically address all of the electronic devices that children now routinely utilize.
Exceptional book with tips for both parents and teachers. Takes some of the biggest struggles and challenges with homework and gives relevant, easy tips for how to solve them in your home. I haven't looked at homework the same since picking up this book, and I pick up some new tips each time I read it! I'm a huge fan of this book, and I think it will change your viewpoint and practices on assisting and supporting your child with homework.
