[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article in the NY Times: "Should PreSchoolers Have Homework?" is so, so true:
http://parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/22/should-preschoolers-have-homework/

The daycare in DC where my daughter went assigned homework. From age 2. It was so, so stupid, but I was taught to obey teachers and to do my homework. Part of me was scared they'd kick us out and I work fulltime! So I did the homework--it wasn't much ("color the green things green"). Finally, at age 4, many parents just stopped doing the homework and it was not assigned anymore. Freedom.  [/quote]
Why were you doing your child's homework for her?[/quote]

I'm not the OP, but in our preschool we do the homework with our child (not for), so it does take some time. That being said, we're talking 5-10 minutes 2-3 times per week. I don't think that is taking away from anything. Honestly, you can't spare that little amount of time for homework, even in preschool? It's not like we're talking HOURS people![/quote]
