It's cheating to help a 7 year old understand how to do basic math? Because the alternative is them staring at a paper and writing random numbers down.

- p1esk 3y agoSo what do they do in school all day?
- ghaff 3y agoBecause everyone has personalized tutors at school.
- p1esk 3y agoI didn't have tutors or parents helping me with homework when I was in school. Also, bad grades were not tolerated in my household, so I had to keep up.
- blogornot 3y agoYou had a household where bad grades were not tolerated, but no support in achieving better grades? Sounds like a crappy household/parenting. That doesn't mean everyone else should have a crappy household or parenting philosophy because you managed to get through it.
- barry-cotter 3y agoThey are exposed to the material on which the sorting and ranking will be done.
- melagonster 3y agoI do not call this is cheating. but this is a crazy advantage of children. some kids never learned learning is important, parents can let deep in their mind. teachers have some chance, but there are too many kids in classroom.
- granshaw 3y agoThe alternative is, you know, the school actually teaching well enough that they understand it without your help
- teddyh 3y agoThe understanding should happen in school. Homework should be only for things that have already been learned.
- ghaff 3y agoIf the learning is already complete then any homework seems like utterly unnecessary busywork.
- teddyh 3y agoThere’s learning, and there’s practice. Both are necessary.
- ResearchCode 3y agoPractice during school hours is more than enough. Primary education is not so demanding that you need more to succeed.
- teddyh 3y agoIn which case homework should be wholly unnecessary.
- ResearchCode 3y agoIt is, unless you spend too much time in a lecture format with too little deep practice. Taking work home is not a good solution.
- liotier 3y agoIt sure would be nice and just if the schools had the means to provide the personalized tutoring most children need to understand. Reality is that the parents do that - and yes, it is an advantage to children with parents able to invest time and skills in their education.
