To each her own... But, I can only say for our family the idea that "they" put something in a book so the child should do it makes absolutely no sense. "They" don't know my child. "They" may have not been thinking of an asynchronous learner. "They" may have been assuming that the child would be working with a flexible teacher who would be able to adapt or let go assignments that don't make sense.

Forcing a child to march lock step through a curriculum produces a kid good at worksheets.
