I make DD* do all the required homework and the past few months I've added Aleks. I should say that this has never been very much though and usually value added, we've been lucky. This year our teacher doesn't believe in Homework with the exception of a few writing assignments. We did do a science project after a little debate and figured out she wanted to do a project but didn't want to present so we made a video for her class, it was fun. We do ignore the read 15-20 minutes a night because when she does read it is for hours. I have backed off on the "enrichment" which is extra, (a camping cluster). At first I thought we should do it, but she showed no interest and it didn't seem value added.
As for the sheeple, at our house we are trying to balance too much natural questioning ability and attempt to teach them that they need to follow instructions. I wouldn't mind a class on how to squelch the debate, LOL!
