Worst Homework Assignments Your Kids Have Had

It wanted them to understand or even acknoledge my concern. All I got back was arrogant push-back.

My point was the teacher's and most of the staff's attitude of "they know what's best for my child." They only want a parent's involvement in education when you agree with what they are doing. They want parents to sit back and be silent if you disagree.

It was the first step in my complaining about the cirriculum in the entire chain. Next was the principle. After that was the school district. Finally was the school board. None of which accomplished anything. They system is programmed to advance with rigid momentum.

To be fair, the Common Core State content and practice Standards for math are exactly that—standards. They outline what students should know and be able to do, but they do not dictate how the material should be taught. The quality of curriculum and instructional materials can vary widely—and unfortunately, some of it isn't very good. This can be frustrating for both students and parents. That's why it's so important to keep parents informed, so they can better support their children at home.

Homework should be for the student not the entire family. You were lucky that you live near Galludette University the experience would have been different somewhere else. Students shouldn't be penalized if their families can't or won't help them.

I understand that and this is why I said that I don't think the prior example was well rolled out. Also my example was for an adult ed class so a different situation as I noted.
