		<description>Hi Leslie,

First off, thank you for the kind words.  I absolutely agree with you that with homework, parents have a better understanding both of the curriculum but also how well the child understands it.  And let&#039;s face it, it does both the child and the parent little good to rely on two-three meetings during the school year to get a grasp of how well they are doing in school.

Also, for myself, I&#039;ve found homework can be a very useful means for getting quality time with your kids as you can end up talking both about what went on in school, but also sharing your own experiences of how you managed learning how to do these problems.  Yes, sometimes it can be a chore, but that also is a great lesson for kids to learn about life and how to meet those moments in a beneficial manner.

I&#039;ll definitely stop by your blog to read more about your thoughts on this subject.  Thanks again for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on this subject.</description>

		<description>Well said!  I&#039;ve found tremendous value of homework for young children, around developing organization and time management skills.  It&#039;s also how I check in and understand what&#039;s being taught in the classroom and whether he comprehends the lessons.  Feel free to visit my post &quot;How homework benefits young children -- and their parents&quot;  http://lboissiere.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/the-case-for-homework/
