@MoonKnight, I agree that busywork assignments are not helpful for most kids and were especially harmful for my son. My aim in all of this was to get them to a point where they could be successful on their own.
@RandyErika, I don’t advocate doing kids’ homework for them. However, I think parents on CC are sometimes way too wrapped up in the sorting function of school and often miss that a mindless insistence on the protocols and norms of sorting can actually be deleterious to the educational function of school.
