It is condescending because "dear" used in the middle of a debate with somebody you strongly disagree with is just a way of sayig that you consider their opinion to be charmingly inane, rather than something to be taken seriously. It is a use of "dear" swiped from mens' sexist use of the word to dismiss the opinions of a particular woman they disagree with. Now that this has been explained, any further use of "dear" will make it plain that you are using willfully to be condescending because after reading this post you know longer get to feign ignorance at the meaning.

Not in this case. My SIL spends hours with them making sure it's all correct. Which is a good thing, but I think it could give the teacher a false impression of their grasp of a concept. My other brother (the one who's not their dad) is a math teacher and one niece is always seeking out his help. Again, not a bad thing in and of itself, but I do think that her teacher might be interested to know that she's not just whipping this stuff out all on her own.

But there's a lot of area between not knowing (or caring) what your child's homework is and being *required* (which with one teacher, meant actually filling out a worksheet while your child was working, to prove that you'd been there thru the whole thing) to be an active participant.

How exactly does saying that I think my over-involvement with his homework is counter-productive to my parenting goals become an indication that I don't give a rat's behind what he's supposed to be doing?

I don't believe that. I think every stage in your life leaves an imprint on you. My dd is just like every other child in her class whether their mother stayed home with them before school or not.

You can be raised a certain way and then meet someone later in life and change all your values. My husband was raised in a disfunctional household. He met me and lives a totally different life than he used to.

"A bit of both" does not mean half and half. It means they have overlapping duties.

Are you bragging? Frankly, I don't want to have to avoid all your MANY posts so that I can read an actual debate. Unbelieveable..

< " sticking my toungue out at you... contradicting myself and deliberatley lying and these are quotes, i just cant acknowledge that b/c my hands are full right now. >>


I think you need to re-read quite a few of my posts because I said nothing about teachers being anything, let alone calling them names as you are doing.
