[quote=Anonymous]Most of the research on homework indicates that homework is pretty worthless in elementary school. The book referenced earlier, Rethinking Homework, is an excellent resource that outlines the reasons. Much better to spend the time reading TO and WITH your child, encouraging physical activity, and talking about current events with your child (age appropriate). Also, finding the learning in everyday events (If we want to eat dinner at 7:00, and the meal takes 45 minutes to cook and 25 minutes to make, what time should I start the meal?). Also, playing board games, card games, and thinking games is a great way to help kids not only learn but to connect with family. [/quote]
