Is this a new trend in education or something? I just received a note from DS's teachers to the parents that they (the teachers) "won't grade the homework" this year, because they assume the parents are going over it with the students?
Well, DYS DS7 does not ever ask for help with homework. It is usually much, much too easy for him (he rushes to finish it as fast as he can). So I don't even look at it (I would prefer to help him with some math that is the right level or discuss a chapter book with him that he is currently reading). I am a bit alarmed to hear that NO ONE will be looking at it this year (can't quite figure out what that is teaching him - nothing good, I suspect)...
Anyone else? Is there a value to this that I am missing?
