Homework sucks. I resented it at the Kinder level, and said something to the principal at my daughter's very small school, because she went to a Montessori, and I didn't think homework was very Montessori. As so often, I was told that I was the only one who had a problem with it, and that other parents requested homework. Sigh. Why can't parents who want homework for their kids just buy a workbook and leave the rest of us alone?<br /><br />On the other side of the coin, Maya always did better in math when she did homework to help cement ideas. Because she hated math and needed the extra work, I think, to get it in there. All kids are different, and I do wish there were a way to handle that more easily without leaving kids behind.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-7979149206374910062016-08-05T06:37:35.207-07:002016-08-05T06:37:35.207-07:00I think it's always good to do a Year In Revie...I think it's always good to do a Year In Review assessment like this and decide what was good, what was problematic, and what you can do to make things better for your children. Getting a bit of input at some time from your kids can also be helpful because what you perceive as big issues FOR them may, in fact, be minor in their eyes.<br /><br />Homework continues to be a constant discussion on both sides of the desk. It's a battle for everyone, both practically and philosophically.<br /><br />The fact that you put the time in on all of this shows your commitment to your parenting.
