Grade retention advice, public versus private advice.
Book covers more than homework hassles.

Has an excellent section on when appropriate to retain (hold back) a child, as well as the least biased & naive comparision of public versus private schools I've ever seen, explaining the rare situations when private school is a better choice.

Oldie but goodie
I know that this book is a little older, but I have been a big fan of Rosemond for years. The info he gives is time tested, so it doesn't matter if it is published recently or a few years ago. I have applied most of his principles to my 4th grade twins, with predictable results. A little baulking initially, and now they are very responsible for themselves and their successes (and failures) are their own. I am proud of them.

Homework Hassles
This book has some good ideas for parents of how they can help their child become more responsible for his/her homework. Some information about medications and classroom interventions is outdated but the book has a lot to offer if you keep in mind the date of publication.
