[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 503617, member: 11791"] Kathy... You're a teacher. I'm a parent. That equals loggerheads, right? Just some parent-perspective on homework... 1) It works better for NT kids than for difficult children 2) It is definitely better than group projects 3) Kids DO need practice - especially in basic subjects like Math and English 4) If homework is a problem - because the kid is too burned out by school to deliver any more work after hours - then the answer lies in a lower academic load at school... for example, one period per day reserved AT SCHOOL for assisted homework, so that homework doesn't come "home". For some students, this may mean TWO assisted periods - and taking longer to finish school. 5) In general, I do not consider [I]reading[/I] to be homework - unless the student has a major learning disability to do with reading, in which case the books should be made available on tape and the "reading" still can be done at home.
