[quote=Anonymous]Please don’t let this devolve into a fight about the value of homework or not, as we are unlikely to solve that and it will only undermine the ability to get an answer. I’m seeking a safe/ nurturing middle school - private or public - in the area, that avoids or minimizes homework. By minimize, i mean occasional, high value projects come home, but nightly preset homework does not, as a rule, come home. is there such a thing? Our current school gives our 4th grader about 1.5 hours per night and as I’m looking at what appears to be 2 hours of homework on a soccer night right now, we need to make a change. The more i read about it, the more i see value at preserving a minimalist approach through middle school, and then having reasonable homework in high school. Again, i respect others who value homework, this isn’t about that, i just want to know if your school minimizes it and if so, what the school is. We are in upper NW DC, not far from Tacoma park or Bethesda schools. Thx! [/quote]
