[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so appalled by your responses.  What lazy parenting!

My daughter is in third grade at a private school. Each week, we get a daily breakdown of homework.  Guess who will have the advantage as an adult?

[b]It sickens me.  Here is an elementary school with 78% FARMs and 42% ESOL run by a leader who lowers expectations for those already at a disadvantage. [/b]

And THIS is a good idea?  My daughter's not suffering over homework.  She's practicing concepts learned in school.  How can you learn math if you don't practice?  Do you think writing well just magically happens?

so disturbing on so many levels

well your stupidity is sickening but whatever.

One of the main issues is those children are less likely to have an adult in the home to help them complete the homework or even be able to read and understand it. The extra homework doesn't benefit these kids in the long run in the elementary level.[/quote]

Well, my parents never helped me with home work but I did just fine..  I do agree that sometimes home work turns into busy work but how about just cut down on the # of days it is given.  Instead of every night how about once a week, kids can have over the weekend to complete it.  Extra practice, studying alone can be extremely beneficial.[/quote]
