[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I read "no homework," I think "let's squeeze the middle class as tight as we can."
No homework because it wouldn't be fair to poorer families who don't have capacity/capability to support their child at home.
No homework because it dilutes too much the advantages to upper class families from costly tutoring and college hooks.[/quote]

Also: you're welcome for the free nugget of wisdom that didn't cost $300K to the Brookings Institute. I'm available for speaking engagements and reports co-authoring.[/quote]

FWIW, I'm the poster who is broadly speaking against homework. I'm a rich parent from an in-boundary to Hardy/Macarthur school. I don't harbor white guilt over what I have. I vehemently dislike this no consequences / truth is one's lived experiences bullcrap being peddled in the city and country. (No, I detest Trumpism too, but I also can't stand that it's still a force because of these sentiments.) I'm not a fan of degrading achievements by giving a ribbon to every participant.

So, you may read "no homework advocacy" as "not fair to poor families," but there is no such motivation for my views. [/quote]

Oh hi rich mom, no I don't read "not fair to poor families" in your no-homework advocacy but "so inconvenient, when my kids would otherwise stay at the top regardless of wether they work hard or even at all."[/quote]

That's on you. I've been very clear about why I suspect (and recall from vague recollection) that homework is detrimental. In not a single place was my motivation of "inconvenience" even hinted at. That's because it isn't my motivation. I've been abundantly clear on why I suspect homework is detrimental.

Go on, though, keep reading what you want to see and vilifying others. Go right ahead; it's a mark of true maturity. [/quote]
