Lately we have been having a little (read "much") difficulty getting our twins to complete their homework. They are such good kids...usually. I'm not sure if it's the age or something else but, lately they have been trying to skate by, rushing through the homework without paying any attention to the right answers. All so they can get outside to play. What has me in a quandary is that they have always been so good about taking turns that this is the first time that they are both tag-teaming us.
I might understand if only one of them was testing us but, both, together...I'm just not sure. The fact that they do not do their homework puts my husband in a complete tailspin and then the whole world is miserable. That is what makes it worse.
I totally understand that they would want to play but now is the time to create good study habits. So, the solution is that they get to go to an academic after school program where they will be worked with on their homework, given extra help in any areas they need it, and encouraged and challenged in areas where they are advanced. I'm hoping it works because I'm not sure what else to try at this point.
They are so young for the amount of homework and responsibilities they are given but, that is the way it is these days. Wish us luck!

Perhaps if you give them an hour or two to play outside BEFORE they tackle their homework, they will be more likely to focus and concentrate instead of rushing to get outside.
Sometimes the least obvious solutions work the best.
