Yes, they do.
People are required to pay for schools and thus use them, it's only right that they try to get the best possible outcome for their kids.
Um, yeah they do. Gov't mandates a lot of things on curriculum and whatnot even for private schools and homeschool.
Actually, there are a number of programs that allow a parent to pull their children from a school and send them to a private school using the tax dollars they paid. Plus, they could do what most people do...MOVE TO A GOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT. Public school is not a guarantee of a bad education.
Just do the HW and there won't be a problem :shrug:
If they know of the consequences of not doing the work and don't do it anyway then that is their fault.
And the whole point of homework is the student is free to buck the education standards, they can complete the task as they see fit without the confines of a dictatorial teacher. The purpose is they attempt to tackle the work and manage their time accordingly. Strengths or weaknesses be damned and be punished accordingly if they haven,t.
It may be hard for the clever ones who have to set aside ten minutes of their time to a useless pursuit (no matter how many times a better person than that is required to waste time in the real world), the not so gifted have to better themselves over corresponding hours and improves themselves.
This thread is full of flawed beliefs: There's the flawed premise that forcing students to do homework is the same as educating them. There's the flawed premise that the stuff that they're learning is adequately preparing them for the real world, if only they'd do their homework. And there's the flawed premise that even pointless homework assignments teach students "responsibility," and that this is somehow a good thing.
As an independently-minded entrepreneur, and as someone who cares about critical thinking and creativity, that last point is especially infuriating to me...as it is exactly the OPPOSITE lesson students should take away from such experiences: If someone is wasting your time, the "responsible" thing to do is to avoid it if possible, and do the bare minimum if it's unavoidable. There will always be people trying to waste your time, and the best course of action is to shut them out of your life as much as possible.
A whole bunch of fail in this thread, I'm sorry I read it. If doing just enough to get buy is what passes for education nowadays, I'll be hiring more Asians well into the future.

I think homework has gotten WAY out of control. The kids can barely carry all the books they have to carry home as it is. They have like 30 pounds of books in their backpacks. I think homework is a waste of time. Most kids don't do it, or don't do it right anyway. The teachers only check to see if the children did their homework, they don't check each and every paper to see that they're right. I think that 6-7 hours of school a day is MORE than enough for children. They need time to be kids and play too.
So, uh I guess you can't run it all by yourself then. Isn't that the montra? "I built it myself". But then again, you spent your educational years just to make the football team.
