[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents show their children that they think homework doesn't matter, and that what the children are learning isn't important, children will learn tha school doesn't matter. It turns schooling into a farce.

My MS aged kids homework not mattering to me does not mean it isn’t required to matter to them. They are the ones in MS, there are repercussions if they don’t take it seriously. I already made it through MS, the joy of being an adult.  [/quote]

Is school just hazing that serves no productive purpose?

I can't comprehend this attitude that says, well, if my kids fail, they'll learn that they should have succeeded instead. Do you have a time machine in your house? [/quote]
It’s more like my kids need to be responsible for their own success in school to a certain extent. These are MS aged kids we are talking about, not kindergarteners. If there is homework, they need to do it, and if they don’t there will be consequences for it at school. We talk all the time to the kids about the importance of doing well in school and the impact that doing well in school will have on their future. But at what point do you land the helicopter and let them figure things like homework out themselves?[/quote]

+1 I never checked homework from 6th grade on, with the exception of Algebra 1 which took place online for my kid in 2020/2021 and was a disaster. They know they’re expected to do it and they know we’re here to ask questions if they need to. The rest is up to them.[/quote]
