Do you sometimes feel like you're beating your head against a wall when it comes to getting your students to do homework?  Do you find yourself saying things like, "when we had homework as kids, we just did it!"?  Do you feel that your kids are lazy and they just need to "suck it up"?   There are reasons why our students don't always achieve to our standards even though they seem intelligent enough to do so.  Looks can be deceiving.
