[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I’m in conversation with Mrs. Garrett about these issues. I brought them up to Ms. Cozelle, and she told me that the math should take the bulk of the time and each other subject should be 10-15 minutes. That has not been our experience at all. There are some new 6th grade teachers this year, and I wonder if they’re aware of the homework load and if they are communicating with each other.

No, he is actually working (with a few bathroom/water/rest breaks, of course). Just completing the assignments takes a while. When I look at the CJ, it’s like: okay you have homework in 5 subjects tonight. Time to get started.

One parent said she has to force her kid to go to bed and just stop. Is that normal to you?[/quote]

No - not normal. US parent here and my student doesn’t have close to that amount of homework and is taking multiple APs. [b]Any chance there is an undiagnosed LD? [/b]This is the age where the bright kids who could skate by often get diagnosed. Are your child’s peers having the same struggles?[/quote]

+1. Consider undiagnosed LD or inattentive ADHD. My kid did fine at BASIS in 6th but got overwhelmed in 7th. We had an evaluation and found high IQ and undetected ADHD. [/quote]
