    Here’s the thing I hate most about primary school homework: if it can’t be done without adult help (and it can’t), you’re not giving my child homework - you’re giving *me* homework, and you’re making me do a daily treasure-hunts to figure out what it is.

        My first grader’s bag is not a reliable conduit, nor - with the best will in the world - is my child a reliable narrator about homework. But you want me to dig through three folders of 75% junk paper per day to figure out which bits we need? Come on, now.

        I am an adult. If homework requires my participation, treat me like an adult and email it to me in a way I can actually manage and keep track of.

        Or better yet, don’t assign homework to children too young to work unassisted! I’m not a professional teacher! Most parents aren’t! This is why we send kids to school in the first place!

        OMG, THIS. My Kindergartener has homework every night. I stopped paying attention to when the teacher wants it and just stick it in the folder whenever. HE'S 6. I have enough stuff to worry about every night without this on top of it.

        I am flabbergasted that a school is giving a kindergarten student homework! Yikes. Many teachers in the elementary school we've been dealing with are moving away from homework, aside from home reading.

        Right??? I've been so pleased this year with daughter's 5th grade teacher assigning very little, and emphasizing organization and responsibility and having a really clear system. But this is by 5th grade. Daughter didn't have any in 1st!!!

        I don’t think I had homework until at least third or fourth grade, but ours have daily homework here in first grade. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I cope by ignoring it completely. JE’REFUSE

        This makes a lot of sense, but I don't have kids so wtf do I know? Otoh, I think it'd be pretty cool to have some incentive to think about low level math again, and figure out the best ways to express it to children without pedagogical practices that turn them into math loathers.

        you might ask your kid's teacher what the consequences are for just not ever doing any homework. In elementary, my kids used to get homework, but if I sent it back w "we decided not to do this" written across the top, there weren't any consequences

        it's better for an eight year old's development to run around outside until she's exhausted than to do another worksheet of spelling bullshit, and it turned out their teachers agreed w me, but were getting pressure from admin to 'reach standards' or whatever
