I'm teaching English to children here in Germany. I got into a discussion yesterday with another teacher here (she is German). I feel like an idiot having to ask this, but she has been teaching children to say "today I do my homework," whereas I would say either "today I will do my homework" or "today I am doing my homework." Is it proper English to say "today I do my homework?" It just sounds wrong to me. I have taught so many students the Simple Present Tense, but I have never taught them to use it in this way.
