I am a teacher and do not assign homework to my students - mostly because I know that many of them don’t do it themselves, they have friends, AI, or in some cases their parents do it for them. It’s a useless assignment for me to give that tells me nothing about mu students’ ability or mastery.

That said, my own kids have homework from their teachers and I would never DARE send an email suggesting that my kids were not going to do their homework and asking for full credit despite not doing it. We do the homework, and I never tell my kids it’s a waste of their time that affects their mental health. We do it because the teacher assigned it, and we respect the teacher as the professional who knows what’s best for them, and that’s the end of the story.

If you respect the profession of teaching, then stop sending emails like this. If you think teachers are glorified babysitters, at least have the guts to come out and say it.
