A 7 year-old shouldn't have the kind of homework that is a struggle. [b]If your child is always forgetting things the teacher should be working with him on organization skills.[/b] [/quote]

No, it is the parent's job to work on organizational skills with regards to homework, not the teacher's. I agree that parents should not do homework for kids, and that children should deal with the consequences of not completing it, but it is the parent who has to teach the student how to manage their out of school time.[/quote]

Agreed. Parents have to model good organization habits for their kids such as keeping binders and folders neat and labeled.  They need to teach kids to pack their book bag the night before, check their hw agendas, and check boxes when tasks are complete.

Teachers usually have organizational strategies built into how they run the class and how kids keep their notebooks and folders in order.  Parents have to practice organization with kids too, so it becomes a habit.[/quote]
