[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am amazed about how cavalier people on this thread are about homework.  What a horrible message to send to your kids.  How arrogant.  "I'll decide if my child does homework or not.  The rules don't apply to us."  Ugh.  I hate people like you.[/quote]
OP here. This is how I feel. I'm not a rule follower but I think it's important that my kids know that certain things just need to be done. I think it also helps go over things they learned that day. If teachers give zero for missing homework wouldn't more kids fail the grade? My first grader gets a lot of homework. Every night he has to read a book, a sheet of math, a sheet of English and a spelling test on Friedays. [/quote]

See, and I think it's important that my kids learn critical thinking skills and to be able to realize "This is bullshit and won't benefit me at all." But while they're too young to realize that I'll do it for them. I rather my middle school kid try to teach herself clarinet and Japanese and back walkovers and coding (current interests). [/quote]

I hope your child finds a great job as a clarinet playing, Japanese speaking, coding acrobat. All great hobbies, but you're teaching her that you don't respect her teachers and therefore she shouldn't have to either. As the manager PP pointed out, this attitude will not take her far in the workplace. There is time for hobbies after responsibilities have been fulfilled. [/quote]
