[quote=Anonymous]I agree with all of the other posters, and your friend.

The only caveat I will add is that we've had some issues with time management and organization, so we hit a bit of a wall in 5th and 6th grade, as assignments increase and especially with multiple teachers/classes in middle school. To get over that hurdle, we were checking their "agenda" (student organizer) each night to make sure they had written down their assignments (or written NONE if there was none) and then confirmed they had completed the assignment. NOT checking work to see if it was correct, just if it was done. 
Once the kids got into a rhythm, we were able to dial that back.

Like PP, with larger projects (Science Fair, etc.) we do check in with the kids and make sure they are hitting milestones, and offering feedback, and yes pointing out typos, etc.

It really is important for the teachers to see how your child (not you) is doing the homework. They want to know if they need to try different techniques/approaches etc. in order to make sure your child (and all the other students) are really understanding the material.[/quote]
