[quote=Anonymous]I have not read all of the previous posts because page 1 was already  starting to be ridiculous with name calling and rude posts....

Our son has had 'homework' every night since kindergarten, which is reading homework in two languages. He is dyslexic and we find the reading homework both inappropriate, too hard, and very boring with him. For the past three years (K-2), I have told the teachers at the beginning of the year what my plan was for regular learning supports at home that meet the needs of his dyslexia. That plan does not include any of their assigned homework. We are doing something more important that is actually helping my child learn. The timing and nature of that support is on our own schedule (it does involve fairly regular practice though with special materials -- I have had to adjust my work schedule a bit).

Bottom line: If you tell your teachers the plan that you have for reinforcing learning with your kids, or send a note with this plan, then you do not need to do the homework assigned in Kindergarten. Also explain to your child the decision that you, your spouse, and their teacher have agreed upon. I wouldn't let it slide because then they may think that homework is forever optional......[/quote]
