How long does it take her to complete the nightly homework? 7th grade is a pretty heavy homework grade.

The school doesn't need the details. I would tell them she had a rough start and you are seeking psychiatric intervention. That's enough information.

Does your child have an IEP or 504 plan? If not, request one in writing. They will do testing. That's the easiest way to get assignements modified and more help.

I would keep doing homework with your child if she is actually working because it is good for her to let you help her. If she is crying or arguing or not working then it's time for you to stop. If she is crying it may be time for her to stop.

Not sure what your schedule looks like, but would it help to break the homework up in sections? Math after school, English after dinner etc. Just a thought.
