Who I watch every day is having a problem with this. She has ADHD and getting through a regular school day is tough, homework was torture. Now it’s worse. Some days I just let her have the day off. She’s in 4th grade, smart, likes to read but would play Minecraft all day if you let her. She can do the work but is not “self-motivated” where school is concerned.
