[quote=Anonymous]The thing is that not all parents are using time after school to create compost bins. Some families (children and adults) won't reinforce what's learned in school unless it's a requirement (i.e. homework). It's just the reality. And no school or teacher will say "Larla, your parents take you to museums and build compost bins after school--no homework for you. Larlo, your parents let you stay up late to watch TV and play video games--you need to do math and reading homework tonight." And there is time after school for both reinforcing what's being taught in school (homework) and building a compost bin. The two are not mutually exclusive. As long as homework is in fact reinforcement of what's being learned in school then it's valuable and can he considered parental involvement if done together or even if a parent just checks it when it's done. The parent is involved in creating a home-school partnership, which is important for children to see. [/quote]
