[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework obviously didn't teach OP how to think.

Why does a parent need a school to assign homework?! You are the PARENT. If you want you to do more homework, assign it.

But I don't think a parent is involved at all. This smells like a thinly veiled cookie cutter talking point slogan thet certain groups repeat ad nauseum in response to all news without regard to the actual issue at hand. It doesn't work because you already have all the morons in your camp, and the rest of us see through you. [/quote]

This is OP. As a parent, I am supposed to assign homework?  LOL

I have had kids in both MCPS and private. When my youngest was in private elementary school, she had homework every night. Mostly math and reading and also studying for spelling tests. The math is the most time consuming, as it should be. Math is an important subject that requires practice. The short amount of time spent in school on math is not enough for a student to master it. Now MCPS teachers want parents to assign the math homework. I guess public schools are self service institutions now. This is one of the many reasons I pulled my kids out of MCPS and so glad I did.

Public school students run rings around private school students in math.

One example:
