I think children are better off making a few mistakes but finding their way to solving a problem, rather then doing 20 homework questions to beat down the process into their brain.

Okay, but what about the testing? Perhaps the parents had a point by fighting repetitive homework, but now getting back into the news to fight testing, doesn't that smack of arrogance?
At what point do the parents simply tell their kids that life isn't always fun, and that test anxiety is just a microcosm for stress they'll face in later life?
