Hello guys,
I haven't posted in a good minute. I have finally got my daycare off the ground and boy do I have a lot of questions/frustrations/vents/complaints.....
Anywho. I have a few school aged daycare children. One particular family is a set of twins 7 years old. When they come in the drill is to put coats away, snack and homework. What I have been noticing about these two in particular is that they don't complete the rest of their homework when they get home.
Their teacher attaches the assignments for the week in one folder so I check everything. I decided to say something to the mom when I saw the consistency of homework not being completed. This was on yesterday and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday wasn't completed. They can only get so much done here before their parent picks them up.
Here is the conversation:
Me: I checked *** and *** folder and they haven't been completing their homework.
Mom: Why not? Don't they do their homework here?
Me: Of course they do but they can only do so much before they have to leave and after that, it should be completed at home. My point is they aren't going home to finish it.
Mom: I'm not understanding why it's not completed. They do their homework at daycare everyday. There is no reason to have incomplete homework if you help them. That's a problem.
Me: The problem lies with them not completing the remainder of their work when they get home. Again, there's only so much they can do here.
Mom: Oh...well...I will have a talk with them.
For this reason, I do not want to assist with homework. Was I wrong with how I approached the situation? Should I assist with homework? Is it mandatory?
Any feedback on how I handled the situation is appreciated and needed as well. Thanks in advance.
