[quote=Anonymous]Having read Alfie Kohn's books and articles on homework, I am skeptical about its value. However, I am fine with the "homework" that is sent home with my PK kid from Two Rivers PCS. Each Friday, we receive a packet called "Ask Me About" that gives prompts to parents to talk to their kids about the material that was covered in the past week. I like it because it gives insights into what has happened in the classroom and gives us a chance to reinforce learning at home. Once a week there is also a small writing/math sheet sent home. My kid likes it and I don't think it's doing any harm. Occasionally, kids are asked to prepare "shares" (aka show-n-tell) in which they share a talent or favorite book with their classmates. Finally, parents are encouraged to read to their kids, or read together, daily.[/quote]
