[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in K also. He gets a weekly packet that is due Mondays. [b]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. [/b]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]

That's kind of awesome.  My philosophy is similar--I already attending elementary school, so I don't need homework.  I'm happy to help, and I ensure that my kid has a place to do the work and appropriate supplies, but if my kid is not capable of doing it herself, then it won't be done, because the teacher doesn't need to see what I know, she needs to see what my kid knows.
