I then asked, well why bother giving him the sheets? and the reason was that the kids that really did need the homework wouldn't complain about the injustice of not everyone in the class receiving a sheet/s.
We have this issue now with DD in gr 2. She gets all the sheets sent home and she feels she neeeds to do them because "I want to make Ms. S happy. She likes it when everyone does their homework."
However, we have noticed a decrease in the number of them coming home as the teacher accepts that DD really doesn't need the practice.
