[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I'm surprised by this. I want students' unchecked work so I can see what they are able to accomplish on their own. A lot of the work I do involves putting students into groups based on what they need to learn and giving them corresponding support or materials. I don't need the additional headache of great homework and bad taste grades. It's more helpful to have a consistent performer.

Have you talked to other parents? What do they think?

As a parent, I have two very different kids in terms of their academic abilities, so my approach to their HW differs. With the more competent one, I check in every so often on writing to share advice, but that's it (also, that kid will often show me their HW for feedback.) With my more challenged kid, I sometimes look it over to prompt him to put in a missing word, spell something he knows how to spell, etc. [b]But doing it for the purpose of improving their grades, esp in 6th grade, sends the wrong message on all kinds of fronts a[/b]nd, again, interferes with the teachers' ability to do their jobs, in my opinion.

This was pretty much my thought. Kid doesn't actually want me looking over their homework, either.[/quote]
