Pages sent home to color in the 1st grade? I wish that was the norm at my son's school.

He's in kindergarten and he has “math” and “English” homework every night of the week but Friday.

He's expected to read, write sentences, graph charts and solve abstract problems.

I fully expect him to be studying the time/space continuum and Beowulf (from the original olde English text) next year. I'm almost kidding.

Of course I help him, but

Ping!

Who knew that my child rearing methods were “chic”? :)

The pages to color would be something like color something based on the answer to a math problem.

My son was good at math, but hated to color. He actually didn’t mind the math portion, but it was torture to get him to color after he had done 30 math problems.

The coloring didn’t even have anything to do with math.
