[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I've read about studies that indicate homework increases the achievement gap. [/quote]

So they should get rid of it then. Like that would help. UMC parents would make their kids do work anyway.[/quote]

we have workbooks for DS if he  doesn’t have homework. He does his reading, he does 10 minutes of writing.[b] I might need to look into some spelling options. [/b]My spelling is horrible and I would prefer he not be like me in this area.

After 30 minutes of homework/workbooks, he can play on his iPad or video games.

Before some folks freak out, we stop at the park to play with friends 2-3 times on the way home from school. He loves his Cub Scouts and Baseball. He is outside and active and playing after school. He comes in and does his workbook and reading while I am making dinner.

Between his reading and language practice we rarely use the workbook. He is not overwhelmed and fully capable of doing what is asked. He just used some of his own money to buy a series of books that he wants. I was going to take him to the library to check them out, he wanted to own them, he used saved money for them. So I think he is fine.[/quote]

Maybe you aren't the best teacher.  Schools do teach this, just not the same as the way you were taught.  Which sounds like a good thing.[/quote]
