'Some' Catholic churches 'can' be like that,I know this first hand. :(I have to agree with an absolute limit in the amount of total homework assigned. I have no problem with assigning homework but there HAS to be a limit somewhere. If the teacher can't adequately communicate what need to be taught in the time allotted the teacher needs to try harder.delsdad wrote:Its unfortunate that they had to do this, however there are many teachers of a certain vintage who believe strongly in lots of busywork as a supposed learning tool. Pointless repetition in areas that need no reinforcement is a waste of time. banning the homework allows the student to actually study and clarify those concepts they are weak in.
Also, when homework limits are set per grade , some teachers believe that the 30 minute home work quota per night is per subject, not per student. Big problem when they move to sperate teachers per subject, as each teacher tried to assign that 30 minutes of work.
My daughter is at an enlightened school, where even grade one students get homework, but the quantity is strictly limited.
Her usual homework is to read one book of her choosing per night to us. She must log the book in her reading log. some nights she reads 3 books, by her own choice.
This gets her in the homework habit, without making the work onerous for the students. So far we are quite pleased.
This is not the norm in Socal Catholic Schools. My sister teaches CCD near Sac & states she's never heard of this. Not trying to start a war nor do I need decaf ;) , just posting facts I'm aware of.drcorey wrote:I heard the catholic church won't let home schooled children into the church without some catholic school classes.
