What about discussing reading with kids? Is it unethical for kids to discuss the books they are reading in school with their parents over dinner? Do parents have to be careful how they respond?

Why would you introduce such a straw man that is so off-topic from both my OP and from the way I responded to your questions? What is your purpose? Are you trying to be provocative & rhetorical, or just difficult? There is nothing in my posts which would imply that it’s “unethical” to discuss books, for heaven’s sake.

Doing the kids schoolwork for them in hopes of a better grade is just self-defeating and very sad waste of time, imho. However, doing the work for a child is usually a lot less time consuming than teaching them how to do it themselves. Sort of like chores.

And it’s your child’s and my child’s chore, not your chore or my chore. IMHO.
