[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No homework in our NA school, which I am grateful for. Don't need that fight every evening.

If your kid is marked as advanced they should get extra work in the classroom.

If you're a tiger parent and you want homework, look at the weekly learning log and print out worksheets based on that. Or make your child do all the leftover books from last year they never finished. Mine is doing the cursive book from 2nd. [/quote]

I'm not OP but it's condescending that you think wanting homework is equivalent to being a tiger parent. In most other countries (especially 3rd world countries), homework is considered the norm even in lower grades. I'm recently reading the book "Happiness Advantage" and the author mentioned that when he went to South Africa, he asked a group of pupils who likes homework as a joke. To his surprise most kids raised their hands, because getting education and getting homework is considered a privilege in a less developed country.

You sound entitled when you just assume all the other parents have the time and resource to look at weekly learning log, printout worksheets, and tutor their own kids in addition to working a full time job. Lots of working-class families (like the 3rd world country I grew up in) don't have that privilege.  [/quote]
