[quote=Anonymous]If you're not going to do it, I would schedule time with the teacher to discuss. For me, part of the deal is that I put my trust and respect in my children's teachers. That doesn't mean I abdicate my own judgement or opinion, but it  means that I work hard to develop a relationship with their teachers and to reinforce the relationship between my child and their teachers. Homework is part of that.

I feel like part of what has gotten minimized here is that it is due weekly. That means that you don't actually have to cram it in on weeknights, if you can't do it. You could have Saturday morning homework time. For our K student (who, yes, has homework), it's about how we position it - so it's not a stressor, it's not a big deal, it's just a responsibility that he has. Akin to setting the table or putting away his toys. I do happen to think right-sized responsibilities are a good thing for kids and that's where I get value out of his having homework. The amount is not a lot for him on a daily basis, so that's how we do it, though it is also due weekly. [/quote]
