I helped homeschool a nephew during the shut down and we had to do a lot of this stuff despite him being in an international school. I remember making the exact same complaint! WHY . . . pay all that money to the school only for them to force you to carry half the load? It's a little bit like cheating, IMO! Parents who are too busy are then forced to hire a home tutor or babysitter to help their kid at home. But that was understandably due to COVID.
I can't imagine this being part of normal schooling! Why assume that parents are even equipped to help with some of these types of "homework"? What if the parent is undereducated? Your work as a parent should be to raise your child at home with proper life skills, morals, and socialization. NOT to teach them formal school curriculum. And who told these people that parents can afford to be printing and making all these extra things? Why can't the teacher print a few and have the children copy?
I also know a teacher who complains about having to manually draw all the motifs in exercise books for like a hundred kids every evening so the children can write into them the next day . . . Because the kids' parents can't afford those new textbooks that children write into. It's obvious we are too far behind, development-wise, to pretend we can hack a system like this.
Jubilee would have been better off seriously attempting the laptops. At least they can be used by many students, no extra printing etc. The messy logistics might have found a workable solution by now. CBC is ridiculous.
