[quote=Anonymous]From what I understand MCPS is not allowed to grade any work not done in the classroom, though perhaps turning something in is a requirement. Don't quote me but that's why I was told at our school. My son was not completing some of the schoolwork at home so I said, send it home so he can complete it there (and learn that he can't get out of doing work). They refused, saying that then they couldn't grade it. WTF! Talk about a rigid bureaucracy with no view to what is best for the individual child's learning. But I digress. So don't sweat the homework (but check with the teacher first). I am in complete agreement that most homework is make work and not worth ruining your child's downtime and family life. Research says it does not help a child's learning, except maybe some rote practice in math. That you can do at home. There is not enough rote practice in MCPS curriculum. Dadworksheets dot com is great for this. They are free.[/quote]
