[quote=Anonymous]My kid isn’t at Blair, but I’d say she probably spends about an hour, sometimes less, per night. It was a bit more at the beginning, until she got used to spotting the relevant parts and could speed up note-taking a bit. Her teacher has also switched the textbook this quarter to one that’s a bit more streamlined and has less material that won’t be tested, so that’s helped a lot. Since the textbook was available in both print and online, she started out using a screen reader to listen to the text first, usually while having a snack, doing chores, etc., just to get a big-picture overview of the day’s material. Then she’d sit down to focus and take notes from the print textbook, which really cut down on the actual “homework” time. Eventually she got better at honing in on the essential elements, and didn’t need the first (auditory) pass. Not sure if this was helpful only because she has ADHD, though? [/quote]
