Well, I chose kid, because I was thinking of friends of mine who actually do their child's homework for them (in junior high), which I think is ridiculous. In fact, my DH is a 4th grade teacher and they now have a no homework policy because our district has so many parents who do the child's homework that it's no longer fair to the families who do not help their children - trying to keep everything equal. Crazy, huh!
As I thought more about it and read the rest of the comments, what I should have checked was "other" because I do believe that the parents have the responsibility to check in to make sure things are getting done, although I am still a strong believer in personal responsibility and allowing our children to experience the consequences when they have failed to fulfill their responsibilities whether it be homework or something else. Obviously, all in an age-appropriate manner.
