[quote=Anonymous]Both parents have graduate degrees: DH has a PhD and I have a a MS. We do not agree with assigning homework in early elementary years. Around third grade homework is more appropriate. Why should children whose parents are providing a highly enriched home environment not be able to take advantage of that? After school is time for practicing their instrument, taking swimming lessons, reading, cooking together, talking, being with friends, or playing sports. The school has my child for most of the day, when they come home they are mine. If we want to hit a museum or take a hike we will. We do our own math and language arts enrichment at home. That said, I agree that it is important to teach children to respect their teacher. I am not promoting defiance or a poor work ethic. We have selected a school that shares our values. Our school does not assign homework in the early grades and the students come from educated families. [/quote]
