[quote=Anonymous]to each his own.... I found when my very energetic sons got home from school the last thing they wanted to do was something academic. so we bagged homework as a regular deal until 3rd grade and they went out an played sports, games, whatever. It was unsupervised and self-driven and above all it was fun for them. too little of that in K-2. funny though, two are in high school now and both doing very well academically. If you know your kids are smart, kids who are taught to work hard and follow their interests find their way. Sometimes it seems like parents on these boards think if you don't push, push, push your kids and fill their heads with constant challenges and new information they'll somehow fall behind. That's not how learning works.[/quote]
