[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I don't sit with her. I check on her to make sure she's not screwing around on her iPod.

Two of her teachers sometimes give bullshit homework, so if I have confirmed DD has the material down cold [b]Ill do it for her.[/b] Or, if she has a lot, sometimes I'll do the typing portion of it if it's online so it goes faster.

But mostly, she does it by herself.[/quote]

That's right - I do useless work for her. I rather she be doing gymnastics or running outside or skateboarding or playing with friends if she's not learning something from the work. [/quote]

The reason you're getting slammed is that you should OWN the fact that some homework is unworthy of being done - and trust me, I've seen plenty of those in elementary school! So nobody does it, period! It's a waste of time. Otherwise you're just being a hypocrite.

My kid has a learning disability and motor issues. In early elementary, I would jettison some of the homework because it would have taken him too long to do it (fine motor skills, processing speed, etc) when he had already mastered the intellectual concept. Just sent it back undone. The teacher never made any noises.
