[quote:Giftedest:MV8yMDEwMzAwXzMzNzc2ODMwX0M3N0U4NjA4] "The deliberate dumbing down of America". They don't teach kids to read or write script anymore. They allow the use of calculators on math tests. Homework is required to be computer typed (with spell checker) and printed instead of hand written. With the eye strain and risk of cancer from heavy computer use, I'd have a major problem forcing young kids to use a computer. [/quote]
Original Message
Does anyone have any links or insight as to why this helps children learn more effectively?
With no warning, my son's 2nd Teacher decided to switch to online homework instead of homework packets. All he will get all year is math. I find the lack of diversity in his homework troubling. It's only 2nd grade and he shouldn't have a ton of homework, but by comparison, his 1st grade class at the same school was more difficult and expected a lot more from him. It's strange to see such a turn of events over the summer.
