A Sentence Request From My Wonderful Wife
My wife would like me to crowdsource this question, as we have an ever-so-slight difference in opinion: how much help should parents give their children on their homework?
Isn't the school supposed to teach them how to do their homework? I thought I only had to reach my son how to burp on demand or make fart noises with his armpit.

World class bloggers!
as much help as they need to get it done as fast as possible.
as little as possible. directional guidance, maybe, but that's it.
did i win?
that's a damn good answer. my wife may have words with you, though.
also, i yell at them when they can't figure stuff out on their own.
Age also factors into this equation. Helping a first grader is lot different than helping a ninth grader.

If by help, you mean check their answers for correctness and make sure everything is complete, and answer any questions they have, then I help alot.
that's no what i want to hear, al. if they pay attention at school, they should know how to do it. but i do agree with mel about the fast part.
I agree with Melanie too, but I wind up yelling at them like Rob and the word retard is not a stanger in our house.
More than you want to help and much more than you think you should have to help!
