| Frequently Asked Questions: | |
Do you have homework on the weekend? NO! I do not assign homework on the weekend, but I am aware that at times life gets busy during the week, and do not mind at all if you decide to have your child complete the week's homework over the weekend. As for weekend reading, I would never discourage a child taking advantage of extra time to get lots of punches! Do you go over the homework in school? No. Homework is reinforcement practice of what we are learning in school. It is a tool designed to help you work with your child and discover their weaknesses and strengths. The homework should have been checked by the parents before it was returned. So everyone should have the correct answers anyway. I do however glance at the work to make sure it is completed, and if not I usually indicate I noticed it was missing with a stamp that says "Incomplete." How long have you been at Tallwood Elementary? I have been serving the Tallwood families since January 2005! |
