totally agree! a lot of parents complain about teachea who give homework. but i have the same objectives - not for them to earn extra credits but to build a routine and habit of discipline. more importantly, for parents and children to strengthen their bonds in a more productive way than spending time playing with their gadgets or watching tv. our school's mission is to create partnership with the home and giving homework is an avenue for that. that is also why i try to give more meaningful homeworks that are applications of lessons i school like journal of what they did to help at home. we just need to think of more creative and relevant homeworks. great piece. im also a teacher. i will be following you.
