As my son has just entered high school, I am now also struggling to even try to help him organize or stay on top of assignments bc the response I get from staff is "this is high school and he is just going to have to figure it out himself or fail". �� ALovingWarriorMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661723012316332301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-49031238462375046702015-11-09T09:01:21.014-08:002015-11-09T09:01:21.014-08:00Oh, I SO agree with you!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that is because I still have memories of sitting at the kitchen table for hours struggling with homework, only to get in trouble anyways the next day because I lost it or did the wrong assignment or forgot to bring it back to school. I still get headaches around dinner time, and sometimes I wonder if it is because when I was a kid homework time came after dinner time! Kids have to focus all day in school. Homework takes up valuable time that they could be actually playing outside, or spending time with their family. I've gone to family gatherings on weekends where my cousins' families had to leave early because my cousins had so much homework to do! Plus it is not fair to grade children on something they had to do independently, if maybe they were not yet ready and able to do it independently! If I were to give homework, I'd give quick and fun assignments, like, "write your spelling words with chalk on the driveway," or "teach your mom the 'count to 100' song."Angel The Alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158672957404194956noreply@blogger.com
