[quote=Anonymous]I agree that practice is important for some things. Esp. math. But some kids need more practice than others, e.g. some people just never learn to spell and others are great at it and it has nothing to do with practice. In any case, school is the place to practice these skills. Cut down on pointless learning content (stem-and-leaf plots? really? misguided algebra lessons in 4th grade? at least please teach it correctly!) and leave time to focus on essential skills. What I witnessed last year was the school leaving to the the parents to teach the multiplication tables. The teacher literally said "they can work on that at home...just make some flash cards."
