[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, homework in kindergarten is absurd.  I am not aware of any study that has found this to be productive in the long term.[/quote]

Well don't apply to YY. My kid received homework in PK. It was not a lot, but it was HW.

And more to the point of your statement, what studies have you found that have said it was counter-productive?[/quote]

Really, which year was that?  I had a child in YY PK last year, the only "homework" I recall was bringing home a silkworm and feeding it mulberry leaves.

He is thriving in K this year too, though a little disappointed that older sibling has homework and he's only had a couple of packets.  BTW, those homework packets were drawing chinese characters and counting steps in the house.  I'm generally anti-homework for children this age, but I'll make exceptions for enforcing concepts (e.g. drawing Mandarin characters) that aren't part of our world at home.

That said, if you're the kind of parent that isn't planning to invest personal time in your child's education, then a school which expects that kind of commitment, is not going to be a good fit for your child or your family.[/quote]
