[quote=Anonymous]OP we are in your same boat. I looked at the syllabi for my rising 7th grader - who had barely any homework as an AAP 6th grader in public last year - and she's in for a shock. Our school provided summer assignments and my kids seemed to handle those fine, so I believe they are prepared for the actual content. It's the amount of work and the expectations for doing it well that will be a (good, needed) adjustment. Our plan is similar to what PP suggested - we're going to have a plan for when the work gets done and help them learn to execute. Thankfully but weirdly our public school did homework for 1st through 3rd and then it basically cut off in 4th. My youngest is just in 3rd now so at least one of them is still used to homework and we have a family rhythm that has room for it. I'm hopeful by October or so the kids will have settled in; if not the school has supports to help.[/quote]
