[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is full of parents who are secretly embarrassed that they cannot solve MS level math problems, and so have resorted to mental gymnastics to convince themselves that not helping their kids with their homework is actually helping them. (As well as pretending to be doctors and lawyers to lend credence to their opinions.) Yet if these same parents were given vouchers for tutoring they would sign their kids up in a heartbeat. [/quote]
You are conflating and confusing a lot of things in your attempt to make this point. I readily admit I do not remember MS math and because of that my checking their math homework is worthless. I also have no problem saying I am not going to re-learn MS math in order to check homework. Since my kids are not in ES anymore, I think this is the developmentally appropriate stage to land the helicopter on something like homework. I don’t check their history or language arts homework either, even though I am actually well equipped to do that. At this stage homework is their responsibility to do. I don’t know where the whole needing vouchers for tutors things came in, but rest assured, if my kid needed a tutor I could afford to pay for one. Although perhaps all these parents checking and correcting their MS kids’ homework can’t and that is why the helicopter is still up. [/quote]
