[quote=Anonymous][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]
Certainly, thanks for your permission. I understand that you are abundantly clear on what you suspect from vague recollection that doing homework is harmful to your rich kids, but you are no fan of handing trophies to all participants because it degrades achievements. LOL. Rich gatekeeping AND lazy SAHM chatGTP bot has entered the forum. forgive my lack of maturity.[/quote]
