My students' parents yearn for homework (hexbear.net)

j.j I teach lower elementary so it hasn't felt super necessary but I'm worried they might complain. I think I'll give out some fun reinforcement activities for class points and not for grade credit. Esp. since a lot of my kids don't have much support at home so it doesn't seem fair.

Plus they're in class for 7 hours a day! Let them have a break and a chance to be kids.

What is the socialist approach to homework? Because it's more or less necessary in high school and definitely required in college, but how do you prepare for that without causing undue stress?

Graded homework is a great way to reinforce and expand classroom learning when the material conditions at home allow for academic success.

If a child doesn’t have a learning environment at home then homework is just going to be a burden. OP is doing a great thing by giving their students nongraded homework. It’s good practice for the students to find a place/time at home to do a fun, low stakes activity at home.
