Reply To: Dear Teacher, can you give us a little break?!

“deiyezooger, I am an asst for 5 and 6 year olds. We gave homework over succos as a review since the girls are off for close to 3 weeks, there is definitely time for them to forget the things we learned (nekudos). The homework should take all of 5 minutes though. Even an older child can do the homework with the preschooler. Maybe this is the teachers thinking when she gave the homework because this was our thinking when we gave our homework.

Good yuntif! “

I have no problem with review homework “during” yom tov, My problem is to do it today. (It needs to be back by tommorow).

“Keep in mind though, that if your child is having a hard time with it, the teacher ought to know about it, so she can review the material with your child.”

My kid dosen’t have a hard time, I don’t have the time to study with her between all the Yom Tov preparations.
