[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework time[b] is an opportunity for me to see how much my kid knows[/b], 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.

[b]I will also edit their work but they have to be sit with me through the whole process.[/b]  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]
