School Family

This story half-intrigued me and half cracked me up. We’ve all heard about kids staying after school to get extra help, right?  Well, here’s a twist — this Ohio district is giving parents the extra help, so that parents won’t be so flummoxed by the kids homework!

I must admit, I can see the need. My oldest is just in 4th grade, and I had to do some serious thinking last night about compound subjects and predicates while helping with homework.  I’m already a bit worried about those word problems with the trains heading in opposite directions.

Do you need this kind of help?  Are your teachers providing it?  Is it a trend?
