[quote=Anonymous]You guys that are jumping in and hovering over your kids are going to pay a huge price later.  This is why MCPS is so screwed up, there should be motivation built into the educational system for a child to want to succeed and be rewarded.  My friend that just had two children who were at the top of their classes at a W school leave for to colleges, her advice is to make the child responsible for their own education as soon as possible, because you can't check over everything and they will grow to resent you.  I know for a fact other than reminding her kids when large projects were due she never did any checking over of homework.  They are going to be able to go to college and succeed because their motivation does not come from a helicopter parent.

If you hop into every conversation with lectures when your kid has friends over they are going to stop talking to you or just not talk freely in front of you.  The conversation then went into how he's never received any graded homework back, the teacher leafs through the papers and if enough kids get the same problems wrong then the teacher goes over the problem again.  This is not teaching, it's laziness.  There is no feedback for the kid.[/quote]
