[quote=Anonymous]The transition to real levels of work is hard. Your kid is developing a new skill. It does get easier; it's just really hard to build those new mental muscles. For my kids, the homework was about preparing for class and being ready to discuss and go deeper. Without the homework, they would have covered far less information and learned far less. Practicing math problems is important. Learning FL vocabulary is important. /reading the material to be discussed in class the next day, taking nots on it, thinking about it and preparing questions about it to contribute makes the class time more productive. Reading the novel you are studying in class, is obviously necessary. I really can't think of any assignment my kids had that didn't seem purposeful.[/quote]
