[quote=Anonymous]No. My kids are in 2nd and K. Obviously the K'er doesn't really have homework, my older child has to do his on his own. If he doesn't understand something and asks me to explain the question then I do, but it's up to him to do the work. The teacher needs to know what the child understands and doesn't understand. The child needs to learn to work independently and be responsible for his work. He needs to know the importance of double checking on his own and how to learn and figure questions out without someone hovering over him ready to swoop in with help at soon as he wants it. Does that mean that sometimes he misses questions due to careless mistakes? Yes. It also means that when he gets the paper back and realizes he actually did know the right answer but just wasn't careful, that he's going to be more thorough the next time around.[/quote]
