[quote=Anonymous]I agreed with the poster that said my job is to get my child to be an independent learner.  There is a point when the child will need to admit that there is something they don't understand, try to seek out answers on his/her own (someone I know mentioned her middle schooler doing a group Skype with friends to figure out how to solve a math problem) and make an appointment to get extra help from the teacher/resource available to assist.  A obviously there is a difference between the amount of support for kindergarten versus an 8th grader.  There are also articles about when you should let your kid fail/live with the consequences.

I liked the poster that gave a list of things they do to support the homework process.  I have a rising 5th grader and after taking on a lot of pushing her to do homework and school projects getting done at that last minute stressing everyone out, I said no more.  I'm figuring out how to teach her the organizational skills she needs and first semester I will help break everything down etc,  After that I will make sure we have a routine where she has time to do those things and I will check the online grades/assignment completion.[/quote]
