[quote=Anonymous]I think summer homework is absolutely NOT worth it. When my kids were younger I actively discouraged them from doing it. If they wanted to do it for the reward that was fine, but I didn't want them to feel required. Now that they're older the summer homework affects their grade and they have to do it but I resent it. I think kids need the chance to do other things during the summer. I think they deserve a break and they will do better for it. I know I loved school as a child, but by the end of each school year I was burnt out. I needed the summer to have fun, try new things, and even get bored. I would be recharged and excited again when school started in the fall. Yes, there may be a little learning loss but it can usually be addressed the first week or two of school and then everybody's on the same page. I strongly suspect that with summer homework the ones who need it the most are the ones least likely to do it. [/quote]
