Cjb,
Good thing to start any new meds over the summer, at least you don't have school stress to worry about too in case the meds don't work well. Do you feel you have an accurate dx on them?
My son has anger problems also and homework is a mine field. School is a major source of stress. How are your boys socially? Tried any social skills training?
Sometimes, also, having homework shortened or modified because of your son's attentional problems is helpful. Do they have IEP's? If so, get something like that put in. Or, get someone to tutor them so that you simply remove that conflict.
Believe me, I know about tantrums so I sympathize with you. My son's can go on for hours. Fortunately, the meds he's been on have helped and everyone in our household is helped by a calmer atomosphehre.
Sara T.
