[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is HW considered useless for K-2, at least 2nd? Shouldn't HW re-enforce what the kids are learning at school? A 5 min worksheet isn't a hardship, is it? My 2nd grader has math HW sometimes, a half page worksheet DC's finishes pretty quickly, and then DC reads and practices math as part of HW - like math games on the computer. Isn't practicing math pretty key for speed?[/quote] There is research showing homework in younger grades doesn't actually help learning. And if it takes up a lot of time that should be family or relaxation time or stresses a 5 year old out, it could actually be harmful. My opinion is that school has my kid for 7-8 hrs and that should be enough to learn basic reading, writing and math until the kid is substantially older, like middle school. [/quote]
