    Gee, I don’t know…I mean, just how good a proofreader is a boy who needs his parents to do his homework for him?

    I taught English to college freshmen for awhile back in the dark ages. Soon I became so familiar with their writing styles that I could often i. d. who wrote something even if it was typewritten. (I said it was back in the dark ages.) One C- or D student began a paragraph with, “Presently I chanced upon the carnage.” I mean, come on! So how can this pair fool Jojo’s teacher?

    Unfortunately, this is what parents do, rather than stay involved with their kid’s school and their work. So much for good parenting skills, right?

    I actually just toured a Montessori school for my daughter this morning, and this was one of the things the director talked about. The teachers don’t assign homework much, preferring to keep the students in class longer and have them do their work in school, so that 1) parents, even well-meaning ones, don’t end up doing the work themselves, and 2) the teachers can spot trouble and help a struggling child right then and there.

    staying longer at school for doing the work and the homework may work for some students. The rest of us sometime need to work one subject, every day, all day. With something to work on at home. For a week or two just to get things right in the head. argh! Math & Physics!
