[quote=Anonymous]HI OP,
I didn't read all the posts so far, but I wanted to say I had the same sentiments as you when my son was in K. His dad was even more adamant that I was that homework in K was actually detrimental to development based on all this research yada yada and didn't want him to do it at all, while I was more on the fence. I even wrote into the post columnist megan Leahy about it. Her response was hey, there is no benefit to homework in K but if the kid isn't complaining too much, it doesn't really do anything postitive or negative. We decided to stick with that judgement.

Well, turns out he finished the homework in aftercare almost every day. It didn't affect the schedule at all, and we could still read to him and everything else we were doing before..it really was a non issue, even though it felt like more of a potential issue at the beginning of the year. He didn't have any complaints about it and it actually primed him for the potential of homework in general (they haven't gotten any yet, but I'm guessing he will probably again do it in aftercare).

I guess every situation is different, good luck![/quote]
