Hi! I have a question regarding the homework (or lack thereof) for my two girls in 1st and 4th grade. And so you know my background, I teach high school math...so this isn't any type of slam against teachers at all.
Last year, my kids were in a different school, and they had weekly assignments, even Kindergarden.
Now that we moved, and are in a different district and school, they rarely get homework, or it is sporadic. As a teacher, I would think that even in the younger grades that it is a good idea to assign regular homework, of course, small amounts for the young uns, but at least on a regular basis so the kids can develop those habits that are lacking in my high school aged kids.
I mean my wife and I work with our kids at home with extra things to keep their skills up, but I'm worried about the kids that don't do ANY schoolwork outside of school!
Thoughts? Should I just let it be? Talk to somebody? What are your opinions?
