Short and Sweet - Hopefully
Just curious, who handles homework duty at your house? For the most part, I only hear women discussing "homework duty" and I’ve never read about or spoken with a dad who homeschooling. So, I"m curious, how does it play out at your house?
I end up being the homework person thus far which not only irritates me from the standpoint that my son is only in kindergarten and I can’t figure out why in the heck he even has homework, but why is it my responsibility? I’ve written a post about this subject as it relates to ones mental and emotional health over here as well as the whole idea of kindergarten children having homework seeming absurd over here.
And, like I said, in my house, I’m the one who ends up handling homework duties because obviously a kindergarten child can’t do it alone. My husband says that since I am a teacher anyway, homework should be my responsibility. I say that our children need to see that both of us are involved in their education and that he too needs to take part in homework now and again.
My husband has an IQ over 170 and there is so much he could teach our children, but he simply says he doesn’t have the patience for it. Our oldest son is going to be much like his father so I just think he should get more involved.
And…at your house?
