[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about homework in lower elementary schools in DC. Do your lower elementary students have homework? If so, how much and how long does it take? What school do they attend (or at least DCPS vs. charter school)? Also, do you require your child to do the homework or have you opted out (to save the time for other extracurricular activities, etc.)? Does it matter in any way or affect anything if they don't actually complete the homework (assuming they already understand the material and don't need extra practice)? [/quote] Homework is not developmentally appropriate in lower elementary. Our charter never had any homework until 3rd. They just recommended in lower elementary that parents read to their kids or if kids were already reading to read 20 minutes a day.[/quote] +1 one of the many reasons we chose our charter.[/quote]
