And not just because it's good for kids with uninvolved parents, but because it allows all the kids to develop independence.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559356125770114400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-57641751965023732012-02-10T06:00:09.595-08:002012-02-10T06:00:09.595-08:00Cynthia, I completely agree.

I can't believe we've gotten to the point where homework is routinely assigned in kindergarten!FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-44278952391970932222012-02-10T05:54:36.055-08:002012-02-10T05:54:36.055-08:00I have always said that a fair school system shoul...I have always said that a fair school system should be providing an education that did not require parental involvement in any way (other than feeding and clothing the kids, and maybe purchasing some supplies). That would mean that the actual teaching would have to be done at school and homework would have to be that which a student could do without help. Then if a student's parents work nights, or are on drugs, or don't speak English well enough to help, or think kids should do their own work, or whatever, that's not being taken out on the student.Cynthianoreply@blogger.com
