>My kids frequently say “I’m not doing that, it isn’t graded.” Even though it’s practice or homework for grades things. To be fair, depending on how old your kids are, that isn't too bad. Knowing when to take a break/prioritize and skip an assignment is also a skill. Even pre-covid, it was common at my uni for classes to allow 2-3 skipped assignments per semester with no penalty. Used to be really convenient when needing to focus on something else, like an exam/project for another class. It was a much more healthier learning arrangement than in highschool where it was normal to get assigned a bunch of homework from all classes simulateneously with no real flexibility.
