I found the presentation on the Koren educational system quite interesting. It is amazing how cultural views about education can vary so drastically. I hated giving my 5th graders any sort of homework if I could help it. Only those who goofed off during work time ever had to do anything outside of class. And then they usually only got it done if I emailed their parents to let them know it should be getting done that night. I guess I just want kids to enjoy their days being grasshoppers before they have to become ants.

my fith grades loved the homeworks that I gave them. and they very excited to show me. because the best homework were on the school display for one week and that student was the star of the class. this must have motivated them a lot but not all of them of course.
