[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want homework, ask the teacher what the upcoming concepts being taught will be, and find a workbook and make your kid do it. This can be handled at home if it's important to you.[/quote] Good approach for middle class families. Totally impossible in most working class families - and lots of working class families care deeply about education as their best chance to get their kids into the middle class. This is why assigning homework - but NOT having it be a significant part of the grade - is so desperately important for working class families. [/quote] If these working class families care deeply about education, then they can find 5 minutes to pull some questions down off the Internet. Or respond to a text message from the teacher or sign a permission slip. If they’re too busy to do those things and they won’t be able to help their kids with homework. That’s the equity issue.[/quote]
