[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do it.   Take the packet the day it is sent home.   Write a note on it saying that in your family you are choosing to reinforce learning in other ways.

Send it back when it is due so your child has something to hand in.

OR - just throw it out.   We did.  Our upper NW school still allows us to re-enroll.  [/quote]
Totally agree. Do what’s right for you’re family and ignore PPs who try to shame you for working outside the home to to do things like, you know, put food on the table. You should probably let the teacher know not to expect homework packets completed regularly. Be kind. Don’t get up on your high horse though (ie don’t make most of the arguments in your OP to the teacher). [/quote]

Oh please. Can you not read or are you just too busy being a martyr? Nobody is shaming working parents. Somehow thousands of other families are able to squeeze in some reading and worksheets under the very same circumstances so OP's argument doesn't hold water.[/quote]

I dont believe all kindergarteners get homework. Nowhere close. Seems like the very rare exception and PPs are right to be frustrated. [/quote]

And I've talked to friends whose kids had homework in K.  They might "squeeze it in," but they hate it and it's often stressful and miserable.  Some of them don't do it, some of them will set a timer and do it for ten minutes and then just turn in however much gets done, and some of them make their kids do it all, but they don't all like it and many find it frustrating.

We did not have any homework in K.  It's definitely not universal.  [/quote]
