[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I dread it more than my child. [b]We are supposed to work with our child, correct them a certain way and so forth. [/b]Seems like a good idea in theory, but I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the tears if I ask her to re-check something. I did homework myself growing up and my parents never saw it except for when some  teacher eventually informed them I wasn't handing it in. I don't think I even got homework until 3rd grade.[/quote]

Says who?  The teacher? The admin.?  The school?  Homework has gotten way out of control in both private and public.  The stress on parents is enormous and it creates for very dysfunctional relationships with your children.  If you are in private and your school is encouraging this, I would switch to a private that expects the children to be responsible for themselves.  Otherwise you will wind up doing your kid's work in college (and I've actually seen some parents do that, even at Stanford - mom flies in every other weekend to help.  I am not making this up).[/quote]
