Unfortunately if HW is not a required part of the curriculum, there's nothing you can do to make her send any home.
My oldest son attends a ';special'; school. It is against their policy to send homework. My son actually enjoys HW, and I prefer him to have some. You can ask the school to send home extra worksheets they have. I print them of off HW websites.

And if you don't have a printer you can simply make your own.What can a fustrated parent do about a non cooperating teacher she refuses to give my child homework?
There is WAY more to education then homework. There was actually a study that proved that homework did nothing to improve our children's learning power. It actually showed that it may be more damaging. If you feel that your son is not getting the education that he needs then find him a different school but complaining incessantly about something as silly as this is going to get him nowhere. If you really want to help him teach him more stuff at home AFTER school.
You are the mother and if your child needs extra help in a specific area you should provide it. Parents can't just sit back and watch this process! You should give your child whatever homework you think he needs. You are wasting your energy and don't really need this kind of help. You don't have the right to tell a teacher how to teach.
Agreed, you should definitely study independently with him at home. Speaking to others who answered, why should she not care about homework? It's how kids learn, thats the whole point of going to school, just doing classwork will not enforce the learning process. It's practicing
some teachers dont believe in homework. its not a big deal. if you want him to study more at home then email her and ask what they are learning about then indipendantly study with him at home.
You're mad because your kid isn't getting homework? How old is he and why do you care about homework so much?
I don't think I'm qualified to answer this one. Be safe God bless
Give him your own homework, it's not her job
that's it! release your anger! you are on your way to the dark side, but you will never be as good as me.
Is there an educational reason why you feel your child needs homework? From an educator's viewpoint, depending on the grade level as well as the functioning level of a special needs student, homework is not always beneficial. As the teacher, your son's educational needs are her responsibility. If she is not fulfilling her job as the educator than it is time to discuss educational goals with your son's team. I am going to assume he has an IEP or a some type of individual educational plan in place. It is your right, as a parent, to request a review of the plan. This can be done through your child's teacher or in your case through an administrator. If communication with the teacher is an issue there are ways to work this out. It does work both ways, though. If you are continuously calling the teacher and complaining or accusing than she is not going to be as receptive if you come in with the attitude that you want to work as part of the team educating your son. It is stressful to have a special needs child and there are many problems with the special education programs. There are, however, also resources for you, but you will probably have to do some research to find support groups or advocacy groups in your area.
