i believe i have said that all along - but i will never take responsibility for my childrens homework. since i still have one yet to start school i may have to make him sit at a table and do it but beyond that doing it is his responsibility. and please show me where i said anything about just sitting back and letting them fail Jennie
my child does not have the time to teach me calculus just so i can go over her homework with her, nor does she have time to teach me how to read the books she is reading and papers she is writing in spanish. but if you understand calculus please feel free to come over and check her homework for me - i dont understand one bit of it, nor do i want to. and while i know basic spanish i could never read a book or write a paper in spanish.

You are a busy mom! I have a ten year old, also, this year i have decided my kid's have to help with laundry cuz it is making me nut's. they change over load's a 3 day's a week . My biggest thing is puttin it away, I admit, i hate it. I still pick out their clothes but do expect them to help me put away and hang up at least 2 day's out of the week.
i thought kids were supposed to be doing their homwork by themselves. i will check my second graders homework when it is finished but i will not help her with it unless she asks for specific help. the teachers her have said they dont want to know what the parents are learning but rather what the kids are learning and the only way for them to know that is for the kids to do the homework themselves Jennie
Don't you think there is a difference between doing their homework and overseeeing it?
I can honestly say i have not done my kid's homeowrk but i do oversee it all four of them every note of the week, we also talk about it. Their reading i also listen to. I enjoy hearing them read out loud to me.
That *is* the price for parish members (thank God for us!). It's even more if you live outside the parish but are Catholic, and then even more if you are not Catholic. My son's kindergarten teacher was telling us that there is a ton of financial aid that goes unused at our school b/c most people don't think they would be eligible (or they are too "proud"). We'll definitely be looking into it.
I like the concept and i agree! I learned this concept thru Charter school's. Charter school's are awesome imo becasue they have so many resources in learning. I miss our's
I also agree that it is "awful" that many schoool's and school distric's are banning recess in the later elementary school. I ask WHY! I have been in the principle office more than once with a vengance on recess and elementary school.
School is also about recess imo not just academic's.

I understand what you are saying, that is why dh does the more difficult thing's for us.
When i say go over and do hoework, i mean that thre is a effort and it is not ignored.
Schools blame parent's for poor study homework habit's. Im sick of it so i make sure they do not have "one up on me>
This comes from a bad experience with a teacher.

Chris, i do not disagree with you at all, i would think it is the norm to have a new teacher every school year.
I think it is only a special thing whaen you get the same teacher two years in a row.
