[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from Rockville (MCPS) to McLean (FCPS) this summer. My kids started 3rd grade in one of the elementary schools in McLean. In MCPS they got homework in K, 1st and 2nd grade, nothing much but something which will take 15-20 mins to finish, I also received their worksheets and projects they did in school, this all helped me understand how they were doing in a particular subject.

Here the school has no homework policy and I haven't received a single paper from school. How am I supposed to gauge their performance level and identify skill gaps, if any? I also believe that 15 mins of homework gives them a structure, helps them form a routine, good study habit.

Is this the case in all of FCPS or this our particular school/teacher? I have downloaded 3rd grade curriculum and I have started them on my own 30 min/evening plan but I am truly disappointed so far.[/quote]  All you really need to do in 3rd grade is read 30 minutes and work on math facts.  Those you can do daily with your child and call it homework. [/quote]
