Kids should be outside playing, not coding.
Adults, too.
- analog31 12y agoCoding is playing. Just kidding, of course. One thing I've noticed is that my kids have vastly more homework than I ever had, and homework now starts in kindergarten. There are only so many waking hours in the day.
- nulltype 12y agoCan kids do homework outside?
- analog31 12y agoPerhaps. It would require providing a place to do it, and good weather. I live in a locale with a pretty hard winter. And schools are increasingly moving schoolwork to the distraction box, er, the computer. Less homework seems like a simpler solution.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI had a lot of homework as well but at some point I pretty much decided "fuck that, I have better things to do" and learned programming instead. My math grades went down a bit but I actually learned something.
