[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I'm surprised by this. I want students' unchecked work so I can see what they are able to accomplish on their own. A lot of the work I do involves putting students into groups based on what they need to learn and giving them corresponding support or materials. I don't need the additional headache of great homework and bad taste grades. It's more helpful to have a consistent performer.

Have you talked to other parents? What do they think?

As a parent, I have two very different kids in terms of their academic abilities, so my approach to their HW differs. With the more competent one, I check in every so often on writing to share advice, but that's it (also, that kid will often show me their HW for feedback.) With my more challenged kid, I sometimes look it over to prompt him to put in a missing word, spell something he knows how to spell, etc. But doing it for the purpose of improving their grades, esp in 6th grade, sends the wrong message on all kinds of fronts and, again, interferes with the teachers' ability to do their jobs, in my opinion.

You should ask an actual teacher whether they want parents helping students learn. [/quote]
