Discussion on answer by Willow: The teacher erased 3 pages of my 5 year old done homework

I'm sorry but I do not understand why the teacher should apologize? The pattern of erase and do-over is the primary reason the use of pencil is so prevalent in those grades, is it not? And storming off to admin over something like this seems quite counter productive. Apparently neither mother nor child have understood the purpose of this homework, so a do-over is clearly necessary. It might very well be that the instructions by the teacher were unclear. At the very least they left no lasting impression on the child. Speaking to the teacher and asking for clarification is the right move.
