The minimal homework is one of the many things I love about KMS. Additionally, I love it that the kids choose what homework they want to do. McLean has already figured out that he should save the easy stuff for busy, activity laden days. The reading log thing seems a bit condescending to me.

Just catching up here. One of the things I love about NW is that until late MS there just is NO homework other than the rare project in grades 3-5. And I see the value of L having had some homework and studying other than reading these past two years to get her ready for HS where it will be a much greater issue and time sink. One of the reasons we went in that direction is that pre-children I

I just got what you were saying about parent vs. teacher with the reading log! Yes, yes, totally would be better for the teacher to do that written interaction (vs. the simple log and vs. the parent being the one to do it), but I was just thinking that it might make the log-keeping more fun for you--as a mama who loves to read and write about what she's reading.

Oh, sorry. I re-read my post after it appeared and thought, WOW, that is not what that sounded like in my head AT ALL. I am completely brain-dead this week and have no business commenting on blogs. (Got into vet school! Hence the brain-deadness. I haven't been able to sleep, eat, or think straight since finding out).

Mostly, I agree that homework sucks. I sucked at keeping track

Appy Love,
As a former teacher, you have a perspective I don't have, and I completely respect and defer to your expertise here. I get the idea that teachers need to make sure kids are retaining/learning. But wouldn't an in-school test assess this better than homework performed with the help of parents?

I am also curious about the school homework policies you mention. You mean, the

I also think it's kind of awesome that you laughed when he told you he forgot his homework, by the way. That puts you in the running for the Cool Mom Awards.

Meaningful homework can have a pretty significant impact on kids' retention of content, as well as helping them develop some pretty key life skills. I mean, kids who don't have parents guiding them toward becoming an independent learner/thinker could definitely reap the benefits of well-designed and un-intimidating homework. (I hate homework as well, and I don't have kids. But after teaching

I started reading about homework overload on your blog years ago. Although I'm up for occasional homework and reading assignments, regular homework drives me nuts. And in kindergarten? It just doesn't seem necessary.

See you soon!

I hate homework beyond all reason. It's pointless and it messes up family time. Lots of education experts are beginning to write about this. It's the bane of our existence, this homework. ANd it only gets worse and worse and worse.
