[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 126194, member: 1550"] This is actually an argument for homeschooling, which I did for a year. I was in a group with parents who homeschooled and those kids were smarter and more knowledgeable than most kids their ages (and far more capable of doing things themselves--self-sufficient). Obviously there is no homework if you do school at home, but school was made fun for most--they did not just sit at desks and do dogmatic leaerning. Many of them are now in college and I wondered how they'd do, because they don't socialize the same way as kids in school, but when I talk to them on break they seem really happy. So far not one of them that I know of (I know that I could be reading it wrong) seems to be partying. All are getting good grades. I don't believe anyone--teacher or student should give up half their family time to do homework. I also agree that when the teachers don't care, the kids don't care. My oldest son, the computer genius, never did homework. I don't know if it was because he did it in school or what, but he always got A's and was in advanced classes (guess he probably did it in school). He is a brilliant young man doing extremely well in life. And he did it without homework. I think homework is good for some kids and not necessary for others. JMO Our school is already near the top of the state in Wisconsin just doing regular hours without Saturdays. Summer school is optional. I always send my son who is on the autie spectrum. [/QUOTE]
