Ss need time at home to free spirited. Many have sat in desk all day with paper and pencil. Allow then to explore other activities #edumatch

ShanaVWhite Dec 20 @ 6:19 PM EST

@soybigollo that's great a disadvantage for those kids..that is why work should be something that benefits Ss and parents can help #edumatch

DennisDill Dec 20 @ 6:19 PM EST

Most of my parents are ok with the no HW ... I say let kids be kids ... their youth doesn't last forever. #edumatch

iamvlewis Dec 20 @ 6:19 PM EST

Lior says remove definitions and be open to interpretation. Adapt the homework so parents can become engaged as a better method. #edumatch

APQenclasse Dec 20 @ 6:19 PM EST

#edumatch A2 The only work I give is the work that hasn't been completed in school (they also get enough time to finish it in school.)

ShanaVWhite Dec 20 @ 6:20 PM EST

Just like Ts....Ss need down time...especially younger ages...my 1st grader should be doing more math worksheets at home #edumatch

edu_match - Moderator Dec 20 @ 6:21 PM EST

Q4. How can we ensure that school-home connections are equitable (i.e. resources)? #edumatch

ShanaVWhite Dec 20 @ 6:21 PM EST

Give Ss down time....they need it just like adults. Kill and drill has it place, but it happens too often esp for younger kids #edumatch

Kidsmathtalk Dec 20 @ 6:21 PM EST

@TG_Neil I don't like them either. I prefer not to send them home but it's harder to opt out when other ts in school send them #edumatch
