[quote=Anonymous][quote]Talk with the headmaster/teachers. It is better for the kids to do homework themselves without parental help. Better for everyone.

Signed ... a teacher & parent!

It's MY KID. If MY KID asks for help from me, then MY KID should get help.

While I get your concept, you are going on the premise that all teachers can teach. I have three teenagers, one college-aged, one senior, and one 8th grader. I'm here to tell you that all teachers cannot teach. Some should not be teaching at all. So I will continue to help MY CHILD when he/she asks for help.[/quote]

Oh my, such drama. Your kid needs to learn to meet their obligations and you need to let them learn how that is done. Your kids are plenty old enough to complete their homework without adult help. You are doing them no favors helping kids who are old enough to help themselves.

As for your accusation that teachers can't teach, you have no way to know this. What you do know is your child doesn't understand the material. You don't know why. The teacher might be fine, or might be bad, but you don't know. All you know is your kid doesn't get it. Or at least that is what your kid is telling you.

Let them be responsible for themselves. Let them make appointments with their teachers for extra help. Stay out of it.

Helicoptering doesn't help your kid.[/quote]
