[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's 2nd grade teacher has been clear with the class that mom and dad are not supposed to be doing extra work at home, because she will teach them at school.

Also, she has a whole class to worry about and I try to be sensitive to that. At the 4th grade level there is an opportunity for differentiation.[/quote]

There will come a day when you will be happy for the excuse not to help. Things are taught in such a different manner and frankly, I just forget so many things I used to know. So I love being able to say I'm not allowed to help. [/quote]
I'm not sure what is more sad a parent who wants an excuse not to help or the teacher who forbids it.  If a teacher told my kid that, we'd be meeting with the principal.  If I want to teach my kids how to do math, its my right and it is nonsense that I will confuse my child by teaching it a different way.  [/quote]

Hope you feel good about bashing my parenting. Yeah, as I indicated, there came a point where I really couldn't help my kids in math because I really didn't know how.  The ready made excuse meant no battles in the house and my kids weren't hurt, thinking I didn't want to help.  Because of the teachers "rule", they understood that homework was for her to know what they could do independently.  [/quote]
