I had already told the mom that I would ask and then provide a place for homework to be done...but that I didn't provide help.
The child got a less than satisfactory report card and suddenly it was ALL my fault because I didn't keep up on homework.
Last day of that's child's care and last time I agreed to homework of ANY kind.
When I used to work at a center, we had to help the schoolagers with homework. However, many of the children would outright lie about not having any or not bring it. Then the moms would be mad at us. Nice way to teach accountability...
