[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is directed towards posters who retort “teach them yourselves!” when parents complain that their school doesn’t teach phonics, handwriting, spelling, grammar, multiplication tables, etc. The *only* thing parents should be responsible for is ensuring their kids are well fed and rested, and mentally and physically ready to learn at school. If there are not enough hours in the school day to do everything, teachers should be sending explicit instructions to the parents about what to do at home (eg please have your child drill these times tables until they’ve memorized them). This is also known as “homework”.[/quote] So you are in favor of homework that requires parental help? How is that equitable when many kids do not have a parent available to help with homework? BTW, did you read to your kids when they were not yet school age? Teach them to hold a crayon? Count anything? Inequitable?[/quote]
