6. Why must an error in one direction be "solved" by going too far in the other?

Edited on Wed Jan-06-10 09:02 PM by FBaggins

This would make it much harder for parents to keep in touch with what their kids are learning and will give them fewer opportunities to help.

I agree that many schools now send home outrageous amounts of work, but surely there's a line between "too much" and "none" that we can walk?

How much time, for instance, can you spend discussing Hamlet in class... if the book has to be READ in class as well?
