[quote=Anonymous]Homework time is an opportunity for me to see how much my kid knows, as well as guide them on the mechanics of doing the homework as well as the presentation. I like to check the work for correctness and completion. I also want them to do their work neatly. This is something that is not emphasised in MCPS. I taught them how to research online, cite work, make bibliography, powerpoint, word-processing and excel when they were in 3rd grade. I will also edit their work but they have to be sit with me through the whole process. I keep telling them to think how they can make their work even better. I am their unpaid tutor in a way. My kids do their homework on their own but I am also working when they are. I do not like the idea of parents sitting and watching TV and expecting their kids to do their homework. I think that is disrespectful. My kids know that I am available to help them because education is a serious matter. [/quote]
