This is crap. Parents who help their kids with their homework are not helping them. the ones whose parents don’t help them are the lucky ones. They learn the material.

Well, what’s troubling is the IMPLICATION of this... What’s the French education police going to do?
Spy on every household with a kid to make sure parents aren’t helping their kids with homework?
Does even North Korea do that?
No it isn’t. DO you have kids? Are you at all familiar with the method they are using to instruct math these days? I have learned a lot of math at a fairly high level, I couldn’t figure out my daughter’s homework using what she learned in school.
They problems that are long division before the kid has completed the times table. They give division problems with leftover frations, without explaining that as a possible result. They pretend that they have some super secret method that I wouldn’t understand when I complain about it to them. My daughter was failing, I had to unteach “school math” and teach her the way they use to teach it in school, and now she is at the top of her class.
What Francois Hollande is doing is trying to guarantee that everyone has the same access to education. It is a laudable goal, but implementing this would be a nightmare if these were our schools.
Only if they provide answers that the kid should have arrived at on his own.
My father gave up part of his Saturdays to help improve my spellling. It worked. Since it was important to my Dad, it became important to me.
