RE: The American HomeworkWars : Homes Divided
I believe many parents of elementary children are just giving homework a 10 to 15 min time block and thats it with the exception of kinder and 1st grade. They are just too young to force to sit through more work. I can see the importance of reading to our children and encouraging our older elementary children to read but making our children stressed doesnt make any sense!
Too, let us be able to sit down and enjoy reading to them and teaching as we go. It's all become a have to. It is stressful for all involved. Especially the little ones that have just finished a long day of learning. Their minds need mental breaks just like ours do. I think too many adults forget what it was like to be a kid.
