[quote=Anonymous]I'd say my Deal 6th grader has reasonable homework load, and actually has less busy work than she had in 5th grade at a JKLMO. It still certainly takes up a lot of time, including family time, but most assignments are interesting for her and not frustrating. The way I see it, this is the beginning of at least a decade, probably more, of intensive homework for her-- and it's really a pretty soft beginning as these things go. Some thoughts: My kid is probably more "pick it right up" than not, and it's such a relief that she's finally in a place where she can move at a fairly appropriate level. The school is really hostile to the idea of tracking anywhere besides math, but they're nevertheless meeting our needs pretty well. If they're not meeting yours, they really should offer some more appropriate options without compromising on the high end, as DCPS normally does. But they won't... see philosophical opposition to tracking mentioned above.[/quote]
