[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will read zero novels. I was told assigning novels is inequitable. Im serious[/quote] Who told you that? My kids have had novels. In 6th, they have a dedicated reading class outside of English. In 8th, there was a required # pages per week that counted towards a grade. And the classes did read and analyze books together, definitely the outsiders. Other novels were assigned for extension/gifted activities. Generally, 30 min/night reading homework. I've had kids in MS for the past 5 years. Homework is about the same, it really depends on the class. If your kid is very efficient and uses study hall to get work done then probably very little will come home - just the bigger projects. But my kids always ended up with with homework a few nights a week. More towards the end of the quarter. [/quote]
