    My child just lies about what homework is assigned, usually when it's something he doesn't want to do, assignments that are drawn out over a week or 2. Day to day math and that type he'll do no problem.
    The kids have agendas but the teacher thinks they should be responsible for filling them out.
    I check it every night and when it's blank all I can do is assume that there is none.
    The teacher told me when I get home at 5:30pm the janitor is still at the school so I can come in and check the board then.

    Like i said before, if neither of those work, simply send them to a private school without their phones.

    Well, i would suggest you take away the phone, watch him/her do their homework, and when they finish let them fool around with the phone for 5-20 minutes. But if your child doesnt focus on his homework then take away his/her phone, ground him/her.
