By stating that you wouldn't get your panties in a wad over a few typos, I feel you are not demonstrating the concept of personal responsibility. Those "few typos" can melt down a child who is trying hard to understand the assignment, which then sets the tone for homework. Add to this, the frustration of parents trying to understand what the hell is wanted from the kid on the worksheet, and you get one pissed parent. And the teacher then has the nerve to feel 'slighted' when the parents get upset.

All because the teacher could not be bothered to check the work she was sending home. [/quote]

Hmmm, well if you are the type of parent who gets hysterical over things like typos, and can't deal with errors, you are probably also not raising resilient kids.

Of course, frequent errors, or poor pedagogy, should be addressed; and homework should be a review of concepts learned, not left to the parents to explain to the child.   But if a few minor mistakes are leading your child to melt down in frustration, your child probably has some learning issues going on that should be checked out.[/quote]
