I have 4 kids, homework or no homework, the work just begins when I get home from work (thankfully, I work for myself). Elementary school should assign more homework. The kids actually enjoy it. Math games, story problems, reading fun stories. If they don't have homework, they actually CHOOSE to do something fun out of their workbooks. At that age, learning is fun. Maybe it shouldn't be required or graded, but assigned and provided. Later on, when they are more independent, I want their school work and homework to prepare them for college. Yes, this will require more of them academically. There's always time for friends. Kids wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe it's just the parent in me. I want my kids better prepared for college than I was, and I want them to have more and better opportunities than I had. I think hard schooling opens these doors.
