It would definitely take the heat off the kids and let them have a childhood.

And as for homework--I've told my boys' schools that I don't think homework is appropriate for primary-age children, and my boys won't be doing any... I've got a reputation for being difficult as a result, but it takes the heat of them, at least. There's far too much time ahead when they'll have to worry about things like that, and I want them to enjoy their childhoods.Jane Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411253302725735470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942400001330848866.post-62394969657722149772008-11-14T16:09:00.000-08:002008-11-14T16:09:00.000-08:00Argh!!!

I think that is especially prevalent in private school. At least that was my experience. I definitely am going to plan a trip over to the Sandburg home.<BR/><BR/>Lioness, Interesting reason. It's that crazy planning ahead and knowing when things are due that gets you every time.lotusgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663641163048764869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942400001330848866.post-54701257887862242382008-11-11T12:17:00.000-08:002008-11-11T12:17:00.000-08:00The whole thing about the French project is that I...The whole thing about the French project is that I kept convincing myself that I had plenty of time to do it.

I think you're right...giving loads of homework has become something many teachers feel they must do or they get harassed by crazy parents who confuse busyness with learning! <BR/><BR/>And as for the Sandburg home place on my blog, you really ought to go! You'll LOVE it. Whenever I need writing motivation and inspiration it's where I go. Very cool!Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.com
