[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on which study you read.  I work with my children at home and it really strengthen math, handwriting and other skills they don't get at school.  They don't even teach basics like handwriting anymore.  Its sad.  I see the benefit of working at home.  And, they still have plenty of time for activities (we do them 4-5 days a week), free play, reading, video games, seeing friends and family. [/quote]

Working with your kids on things of your choosing is very different from having nonsense assigned from the school that your children are punished for not completing. None of the "homework is inappropriate for young kids" posters are arguing that parents shouldn't do anything with their children. [/quote]

My kid gets the dumbest homework and none of it relates to anything done in the classroom or the curriculum.  Its an absolute waste of time but we always do it as its homework.  I'd much prefer to skip it and do our own thing but I am not undermining the teacher by making assignments negociable.[/quote]
