Ummmm?? I don't know....I'm not an expert.
Me personally....I make my kids do the whole thing themselves. I'm happy to have a look when they've finished and give advice....but that's as far as it goes.....I'd rather them think for themselves and I mean think.......whatever marks they get, should be for THEIR effort/work....not mine.......and knowing what most kids are like - as soon as ya do the tiniest little bit.....befor e ya know it, you're practiacally doing all of their homework for them and they're not really learning anything. They get this work for a reason - to learn the work and to learn to work. When they get into the big world, nobody's going to do it for them. Kids are lazy when allowed to be - give an inch and they'll take a mile :rolleyes:

It's just my way though....doesn't mean it's right

I've got no idea what I'll do to be honest. I can totally see what you're saying though. I don't want them to rely on my help....but that could happen very easily and quickly....and that's bad!

What about homework? Do you check it and see if it's right and if it isn't right, teach them what they got wrong and make them fix it? Or do you leave that to teachers?

I used to ask my dad for help all the time for school and he's sit there and explain it to me until I understood. He didn't "do it for me"...he'd teach me. And that is what I'd like to do.

I don't know if I'll be able to trust 'some' teachers enough....if my kids clearly doesn't know fractions, I think I'll be the kind of mother who will sit there at the kitchen table teaching them!

My niece is in grade 9 and my sister and her husband definitely haven't given her a lot of help with assignments etc and last week dad asked her what 8 x 8 is and she got all shitty saying "I hate maths" ie didn't want to answer in case she got it wrong. She's not dumb at all and is excellent at english, however it is obvious her maths skills are lacking and all those teachers in primary school didn't pick it up OR didn't do anything. And it was a "good" primary school too. That's scary...
