Some had homework, some did not I stand for a mixed review. 1. Parents SHOULD read with their children.. it was some of the very best times I spent with the children. 2. I'm not exactly against homework IF we as parents only have to help minimally. My reasoning is not because of laziness... but when a child brings homework home and it's graded, we as parents understandably want them to do their best so we help them. Then the only thing the teacher knows is if WE parents know how to do the homework. So, in short.. yes for homework but NOT graded. Use it not just as practice but so the teacher can see what needs gone over the next day before moving on to the next lesson. In fact.. this is what a teacher told me once. She'd rather see what my son does without my help. 3. Minimize that homework! By the time I got to my grandaughter .. in first grade, we were reading a minimum of thirty minutes.. required. Then, there were three, sometimes four homework assignments. As you can well imagine homework could take up to two hours. She got home at four, homework for an hour, dinner, homework, bath, read.. bed. She literally had no time for something equally as important.. Outside play!! At that time I was ready to agree with the parents that say.. No homework. Especially since they don't have physical education in school anymore.. or only have it one day a week.. they need physical activity too. Just my two cents worth.. posted by: ammegan (reply) post date: 10.24.07 (5:43 pm) Reply to angelsdreams: Hi Angelsdreams, your two cents worth means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing. In fact, most dedicated parents I spoke to share some of your points here. Hats off to those of you who spend time READING with their kids. It helps tons both in improving their performance in school and bonds parents-children together. About graded homework, one parent called me and poured out her concern about her son's Chinese writing skills. I told her that the purpose of me giving his son homework is to practice and improve as we go. So yes, homework should not be given for the purpose of grading rather given so that teachers could better assess their students and the effectiveness of their teaching. Well, just like you said Angelsdreams, this is just my two cents worth. Nevertheless I really appreciate your (as a parent)point of view. I hope to hear from you again. posted by: sjmclean (reply) post date: 10.26.07 (2:53 pm) I think that going for less homework but a frequent amount of class tests is better ... students really know what they are doing and they can't get the help of parents as they do class tests alone. Maybe students will not like too many tests, so you could try giving group tests (where two or three students help each other in a test), row quizzes (splitting the class in different rows and awarding a point for every correct answer to the respective row) or open-book tests. posted by: ammegan (reply) post date: 10.28.07 (5:20 am) Reply to: sjmclean Thanks for your input sjmclean. I agree that quizzes and tests helps in giving us feedback as to where our students stand. Personally, I like giving quizzes before I start my classes as to see whether students could remember what they have previously learned. If they forget, then it's time to go through those things again. ;) posted by: Rajesha (reply) post date: 01.10.08 (12:14 pm) yes! teachers should get homework because it helps them do better on tests posted by: Rajesha (reply) post date: 01.10.08 (12:14 pm) yes! teachers should get homework because it helps them do better on tests posted by: Julia (reply) post date: 01.11.08 (9:11 pm) yes because it helps our brains to become more smarter. posted by: Julia (reply) post date: 01.11.08 (9:13 pm) no because it's sooo booriinngg!!! posted by: Joyce (reply) post date: 03.03.08 (9:19 pm) No, because the person doing the homework is or is directed by a parent! Children need outdoor activity and interchange in social situations. Backpacks are ruining their backs, further. posted by: Hi (reply) post date: 04.08.08 (11:19 am) im going to canada im going to canada im going to canada im going to canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! posted by: ammegan (reply) post date: 04.08.08 (6:39 pm) Reply to Hi: Good for you! posted by: Chloe (reply) post date: 09.09.08 (3:47 am) RE 2 HI: THAT'S REALLY NICE I'M IN CANADA AND CANADA IS GREAT posted by: Chloe (reply) post date: 09.09.08 (3:48 am) RE 2 HI: THAT'S REALLY NICE I'M IN CANADA AND CANADA IS GREAT posted by: (reply) post date: 09.28.08 (3:25 pm) i love canada posted by: deez nutz (reply) post date: 10.14.08 (8:34 am) students should not have homework because school is where we have to learn !!!! home is where we have our constructional time FUK HOMEWORK! posted by: aaannnie (reply) post date: 10.27.08 (12:36 am) homework sucks.....

And if you don't finish it your parents would get sometimes very mad.And those my reasons why teachers should'nt have to give homework. posted by: b-jizzle (reply) post date: 06.02.09 (11:30 am) no because a break is wat kids and teens need sometimes |
