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 teach older students but I email parents because I have to create a paper trail that the student isn’t submitting work.  It’s not shaming, it’s what is required as part of my job.  If the parents ignore my emails, which some do, there’s not much I can do.  But they know their kid isn’t submitting work.[/quote]
