OP here. This has been our approach. However the teachers have started shaming the kids (and parents) who do not complete the assignments. I’m ok with the no school on Wednesdays thing if there’s a good reason behind it but I am absolutely not ok with a teacher shaming 5 year olds bc their parents didn’t have time to do the mandatory homework.[/quote]

Yikes. Sorry to hear that. We are in the same boat but there’s no shaming.[/quote]

Oh please, like the teacher is 'shaming,' they are probably asking them to do the homework. Hardly counts as 'shaming,' some of you look for sympathy wherever you can get it. It's pathetic.

If you can't do the homework talk to the teacher and communicate, that's what adults do to solve issues...[/quote]

I think a lot depends on the homework - tons of workbook pages, especially if your child completely understands the concept is ridiculous. Creating a shape robot as they are doing the shape unit - that is assigned even with "regular school" and each student shares it in the meetings.  Same with any books they are working on during their live sessions -  if they need 3 pages of their book completed and only do 2 during live work time.  The next day when everyone is back together to share - yes the teacher will ask what did you add on your third page. That isn't shaming - that is making sure the student is keeping up. [/quote]
