[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a related problem here -- since class information is in Google Drive/Classroom and not on paper or shared with parents' Synergy/Canvas, parents can't check in their kid's work without logging into the kid's account and sifting through all the apps. Much harder than going over the papers in a folder.

So parents are boxed out of checking their kid's work and making sure the kid follows the instructions. But that's a win for equity -- more fair to students with parents who don't care about schoolwork. [/quote]

Why are you checking your child's homework?[/quote]
[b]Who doesn’t. [/b]That’s what a parent is supposed to do. Confirm they didn’t work and be available for support if needed. It builds a good healthy supporting relationship with your child if they know you are invested in their success, even notionally like just asking if they need help and got it all done.[/quote]

Most parents? Parents can offer help if the child asks, but it's not the parents' homework, it's the child's homework.[/quote]
Right. No one said for the parent to do the work. Offering help in understanding the work and confirming they did the work is not doing the work. Elementary and middle school kids sometimes don’t even understand homework.[/quote]

And parents, at least based on the OP, who seems to have misunderstood the assignment.[/quote]
[b]We don’t actually know that do we?[/b]

Different opinions are great though.

I will continue to support my young kids in their studies in a reasonable manner.

The lack of parental support is the largest reason for  the gaps in education today, IMO.

Have a good evening. [/quote]

We do know that the OP misunderstood the OP's child's assignment.[/quote]
