Well, let's give your sister a cookie! What an amazing woman!

A few things that my kids take home are parent/child activities to encourage parental involvement. And yes, a sixth grader is perfectly capable of managing homework by themselves...BUT they do ask questions. I would certainly hope that a parent would be 100% available to their child when a question does arise. And trust me, the older they get, the more questions they have.

Like I said, just WAIT! hehehe! Until you've been there you really don't have a clue! And it's probably better that way...ignorance is bliss when it comes to future kid issues.
