[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework at the kinder level is less about content and more about forming good habits  - both the parents and the kid.  A can find a study to prove any point.  I would rather refer to the experts - the teachers - who have studied education and child development.  Some children need to practice more than others.  I think it's a disservice to ban homework for other children that might need to practice a skill 100 times more than another peer.  [/quote]

+1.   The extreme positions re: HW evidenced here are really the worst examples of privilege.[/quote]

Are you kidding? It's the privileged parents that can mange the homework, by having an after-school sitter, quality after-care,  or being able to make the time for it at home.  It's the parents with 2 jobs who can't oversee it.  [/quote]

No.  There are parents who make homework a part of the routine and there are those that don't.  The parents who see a benefit for their children are more inclined to make homework part of the routine.  Parents who have to battle their kids to get homework done are going to be less inclined to disrupt their household over it.

That is probably why teachers are generally flexible about young kids doing homework and are happy to let the parents decide what will and will not work for them and their own children.
