I'm all for homework. I think it is great practice for kids to reinforce what they've learned that day in school. It teaches them responsibility. We all have homework in our lives. It may not be math problems, but it's work done at home non-the-less.
What I don't like, is busy work. Juliet has to write a paragraph every other week. She's given a topic, writes a rough draft one week and a final draft the next week. Something she needs extra practice at, so it's all good. BUT she has to write the final draft in cursive and in PEN. Seriously? I mean, come on now, we all make mistakes but a student practicing her cursive in PEN? UGH. Jules has never been known for neatness. Her cursive is pretty neat, but it takes many attempts to get a whole paragraph mistake free! You ask her to make a 10 slide powerpoint and she can whip that out no prob! But cursive in ink....makes for tough Thursday nights in the Honsal Home.
