Mainly because I don't want to discourage you by saying negative stuff. <BR/><BR/>I have been a teacher for many years, but I sooo agree that your little girl should not be having homework. I know what worked for me but I don't know your circumstances and I don't want to make your situation more intolerable.<BR/><BR/>I will just pray for Cherdecorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790199524063763787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31521794.post-46093779329638855782008-01-08T18:14:00.000-06:002008-01-08T18:14:00.000-06:00That is nuts, I thought kindergarten was to introd...That is nuts, I thought kindergarten was to introduce kids to interaction with other kids & maybe a few learning tools. Kids aren't allowed to be kids anymore.

When my son did not have recess for 3 months at age 6 and had just that much work everynight AFTER school, I put my foot down. They were appalled that I did not think it was a good idea to hold a 6 year old boy in at recess on top of all of that and that I would no longer force him to do the home work...they just died!

I agree - that level of homework is ridiculous. Shaelyn only has to do her math paper, every other Monday and it takes about 5-10 minutes. I really would like those cat books though.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440602705415606589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31521794.post-15839835236766573802008-01-08T08:40:00.000-06:002008-01-08T08:40:00.000-06:00I think that is just crazy!

Maybe I am a bad mother but I really don't push my kids on homework while they are in elementary and Anna and Kaylyn get straight A's without me EVER telling them to do their homework.

They shouldn't push the kids so much - they have their whole lives to slave away at work, they should enjoy the few measly years of freedom they have!<BR/><BR/>And anyway - I hardly remember anything I learned in school and I don't think anything really prepares you for real life anyway. And good grief - they're in kindergarten for Pete's sake! What happened to nap time?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300330204992682469noreply@blogger.com
