Glad to hear so many good reports about everyone's kids.

Question for you guys: Do your kids make some of their work harder than it needs to be if the work is too easy? I had to make DS redo math homework tonight b/c:

1. Homework was about capacity in containers and how much liquid was in them. There were two identical looking containers, one with a capacity of 4, one with 9. DS decided that b/c they were identical looking, every number on the one with 9 must have been a half and gave all answers based on the halfs.

2. Simple measurement in grams. DS decided to explain all his answers in pounds. Only no one has told him how many g = a pound, so he simply guessed that 100 grams must equal a pound. I asked him questions before explaining what he did wrong and he totally got that the scales were measuring in g, he just felt like converting them. ... He now knows what the g to pound conversion table is ;-)
