[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love me some worksheets !  [b]They reinforce what was taught. [/b]Growing up I played school almost daily with my friends. I did tons of worksheets. I read  books and wrote my own book reports. [/quote]

They do not, but you can continue to play with them if you like them.

-teacher who doesn’t assign any school work over any break and doesn’t make my kids do it either [/quote]

I don’t understand this and would love one of you teachers to explain please. My kid forgets their long division etc and I feel benefits from just doing then. Why is that wrong? [/quote]

No way would I waste my time. Multiple teachers have said the same thing but you still think what you want and will do them anyway. It’s your choice and it won’t kill your kids but if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s explaining the theories of education and how kids’ brains work and why some pedagogies and practices are better than others is a huge waste of time when it comes to DCUM parents who already think they know what’s best. I or any other teacher could lay it all out and someone would say “you sound like my kid’s 4th grade teacher who was awful.” [/quote]
