There are many things in this life that my kids put up a stink over, and I make them do it anyway. I am willing to have the necessary battles. I am all in on toothbrushing and bedtimes. I believe those things are necessary to keep them safe and healthy or help them grow. So, it justifies the battle. And conversely, when I do not find things to be super necessary or helpful, I like to avoid the fight.
Is homework helpful and necessary? Well, that's kinda the tough part. Studies have shown homework does not always correlate with achievement, often raises issues of inequality, and highlights our American obsession with competitiveness and overachievement. That sounds about right to me!
