Stormy Weather and Homework

Although the weather outside was thunder and lightning, we heated up a little bit in our sessions today. I was instructed by my mentor (EP), not to give homework. I have been doing so with one student, with negative results, for three weeks. EP explained that we get our students, in the first place, because parents are at 'wits end' with their children and reading- and they come to us exasperated. It made a lot of sense. No more homework.
