[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I don't understand, because my child is not in school yet, if the homework is so simple to be meaningless, can't it be completed very quickly? As someone who had to make a paper mâché map of Vermont in fourth grade, it seems to me that meaningless homework projects have been around for a long time.[/quote] You are correct. DS's K homework (weekend only) only takes 15-30 min. Should take 15 min but sometimes it is sloppy and I ask him to redo it and typically I need google translate to understand the directions in Spanish (I am working on my Spanish skills) The homework is typically a repeat of what he did in school. Sometimes it is the same worksheets over again. He understands that his homework needs to be neat and correct. It is about having respect for the teachers, the process and for himself. He should be turning in work he is proud of and not just getting it done.[/quote]
