[quote=Anonymous]My kid finished K last year (DC Title I school), and we had the same homework as you described (weekly packets, daily reading logs). I didn't mind at all and actually enjoyed getting to be a part of her learning. Most of the work was done in aftercare -- perhaps you can raise this with your aftercare provider -- and at home, we mostly just did the reading. In the beginning of the year, I read, and towards the end of the year, she read and completed the log. Now, in first grade, more than 2/3 of the class have pre-tested above starting expectations for first grade, which is really a feat in a low-income school like ours. Our daughter tested at the second grade level, which is great, because now she gets to read way more interesting books that we can talk about. We didn't supplement at home -- we just did the homework. If you really don't like it, don't do it -- it's not part of your child's grade. If your kid likes doing it, why not let them? Just don't ruin it for the rest of us, who are appreciative.[/quote]
