[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no virtue in elementary kids doing homework. I have no idea why this myth persists. Research is clear on the matter: reading & [b]studying math facts helps[/b]. Nothing else does. I have two kids in APS— one in HS & one in ES. Some years that had homework ok ES, other years they didn’t (except for reading); it just depended on the teacher. I agree that standards based grading is dumb, but I don’t think letter grades matter in elementary school anyway. Fairfax has used SBG for elementary school for years, from what I understand. [/quote] Doesn't this contradict your blanket statement that there is no value to elementary homework? If anything, homework (even optional) makes it easier for parents to know how to help kids, whereas vague advice means parents need to look for resources themselves and only ppl with time / means / sophistication are able to do so.[/quote]
