[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were young (kinder, 1st, 2nd) I just wanted them to play their little hearts out. Unless they were behind in what they were being taught in school I saw zero point in doing homework. As for upper elementary grades and beyond, they do it on their own. I only help if I'm asked. [/quote] This is how we roll in our house. I am not getting graded. Nor do I need to show the fourth grade teacher that mommy mastered fractions and division. It builds independence to let kids be responsible for their own homework with very minimal parent involvement.[/quote] This. Unless the kid needs help, why on earth would a parent be doing homework with a kid? As a former teacher, this is the kind of stuff that drove me batty. Homework is about your kid practicing what they learned in school. Not what Mommy learned.[/quote]
