I can tell because besides the usual side effects my kids have added an extra
complaint to homework...
complaint to homework...
"He's looking at me!"
"Stop Looking at me! "
and " He's started it!"
I didn't know how distracting that could be ... when trying to write spelling words or while working on a math sheet... but the gaze of a brother has some kind of 
drilling effect that burrows into the brain and causes all kinds of confusion... so to keep the peace and my sanity.. I made some dividers out of file folders.

I simply snipped off the tabs of one folder... and glued two together to get a nice tri-fold.
I even added pockets that can hold weekly spelling lists... or flash cards of multiplication facts...
Honestly- it has worked out nicely.
It's still new... so we'll see if it is a long term solution...
but for this week... it has helped.
And lets face it- I am working day-by-day.

I hadn't considered using the teens' honors english class as another reason I need a Kindle (man, if they were just a tad bit less pricy I wouldn't hesitate so much!)
I might have to try those folders... so far only one has had homework, but it's bound to be all five by weeks end.
I know- it took a little to sell the idea on my husband.
Luckily he didn't need the $200 fancy Calculator this year in Math... {next year so I hear..}
