[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I taught 3rd grade, the father of my one Asian student asked for an extra math text book to keep at home so they could practice math. The other white more affluent parents complained if I assigned math homework on a game night, like for soccer or some extra curricular league. I had no idea of the schedule. A white family took their son out of class for a week to attend the Workd Series in another state. I could go on and on. [/quote]

Homework doesn't actually do that much good. So, I question your teaching methods. [/quote]

My students used dry erase boards to show their work during group math practice, after I modeled the steps and showed them how to work out the math problems. I would assign independent math practice, also known as homework, when I could see they knew how to complete the homework.

This was at a small private school in the late 1990s. Math homework was an effective teaching method. Please site studies that show math practice of problems is not effective. Parents can't be bothered with their kids having homework anymore. [/quote]

“Small private schools” tend to attract parents who want their children to succeed.

Gir the last 27 years, we have lived in a close in suburb stuffed with high achieving parents.  Some of their kids get into good colleges and universities but not as good as those their parents attended.  Many of the kids go to schools with high admission rates or to NVCC to find themselves.    They seem to never get jobs as good as their parents and often live at hone or rely on parents for baby sitting so that they can afford kids.

We were mocked for sending our kids to private schools rather than the highly rated public schools. After our first child finished the third grade, we realized the public schools we’re not as good as claimed.   Our chikdren our now in their late twenties, have graduate degrees, and secure jobs that will allow them to buy a house and have children on their own.
