[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a wonderful writer. She has worked with me throughout her childhood on wiring in her diary, poems, essays, etc. It’s really not impossible to teach your child to write. It only takes doing a small amount consistently. Parent, the buck stops with you. Not the schools. [/quote] I fundamentally disagree with this. The point of schools is to teach children. Some parents are not great teachers. The idea that you have to send your child to school and THEN do all of the real work after your tired kid comes home and you finish your workday is just not the way this is supposed to work. That said, if my FCPS would like to send HOMEWORK home that I could do with my 3rd grader to help her learn grammar or spelling of fractions etc, that's fine. But there is no homework sent home. Let's bring back homework.[/quote] Homework is not equitable. [/quote]
