Parent-Assigned Homework
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So how many parents out there are supplementing their child’s schoolwork? A writer on another thread said he/she gave his/her child extra worksheets to compensate for an easy ride in the classroom. Businesses like Kumon and SCORE! have kids enrolled all year long, even during winter break.
Parents, do you supplement? If so, why? Are kids today deprived of any unstructured play time? Or do kids need more brain exercise than they get at school?
