[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in K also. He gets a weekly packet that is due Mondays. My philosophy is that if he cannot read the instructions (sometimes there are picture instructions, and he can follow those) and know what to do on his own (because, um, he can't read yet, which is one of the goals of K), he doesn't do it. If he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to. I am not taking away family time or making family time full of fights over HW in K. So - he does what he can do and doesn't do what he can't, and I don't lose any sleep over it. I think HW in elementary school is ridiculous. [/quote] You are the same people who then come to Middle School and realize that your kids have fallen behind so much on math. Math, more than skill, requires a lot of practice, so you take the fear of math away. And it starts in elementary, 1st or 2nd grade, definitely.[/quote]
