[quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine not making my child do homework. I got homework. I did my homework. My daughter is in kindergarten. We do the homework every night. I feel like we need to prepare her for more homework and harder homework later on by starting it now. I had good study habits in college and high school because I learned how to study early on. I feel like most homework serves a purpose. I can see how homework might be counter-productive for some kids with special needs, and those should be figured out on a case-by-case basis. But I have a coworker who complained about her ADD son (now in his 20's) hating school because his ADD made it hard for him to do homework. She didn't understand why teachers gave out homework. I told her, "but if homework didn't count and it was 100% testing, would that be fair to the kids who aren't good test takers? or the kid who had a bad day on test day?" [/quote]
