These parents also have kids who aren't learning lick in their institutional school, as well.
There have been NO studies done that measures the amount of learning acquired in the classroom as compared to that learned in the home through homework. Homework is merely another name for homeschooling.
It is my observation that academically successful children, whether home or institutionally schooled, are doing the **same** amount of home study. And...Their parents share the **same** value for education and have similar discipline and home habit.
In other words....If there is an academically successful child, that child has been homeschooled whether he is in the home full-time or institutionalized. Both groups are **home** schooled.
My conclusion:
If every government school in this nation were to disappear tomorrow, the **same** children getting and education today would get one tomorrow. Why? Answer: Because the **REAL** work is done IN THE HOME!
I don't remember ever needing my parents help doing homework...except maybe giving me spelling words or listening recite something I had to memorize. In fact, I do remember trying to get it done in school so I didn't have homework. I hated homework.
BWAHAHAHA!!! It's called homework, you kill me.
