[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade is your child in OP?[/quote] First kid in APS. Going into 2nd. Glad to hear homework will start in 3rd, thank you![/quote] Why do you want your kid to have homework? That is super weird and out of step with educational best practices. [/quote] All those “does homework help” studies are about closing achievement gaps and helping bring kids to standards. And it doesn’t help them because they don’t have support at home and often have other obligations. The equity issue is real. But for high achieving students, independent practice of learned skills, synthesis of learned knowledge with their own interpreted efforts, and executive exercise and accountability all boosts high performing students as well. So homework is more valuable for those kids who are already high achieving. So if you want to a have a rigorous college ready child, homework is part of that. [/quote]
