[quote=Anonymous]We just switched DS to what I think is a middle of the road Christian elementary. Mostly families send their kids there for the religious formation, not academics because the publics have great test scores. I was not expecting this but: My 3rd grader is being slammed this year with workload! He has had 2 quizzes and a chapter test (filling out and reviewing an actual REVIEW SHEET with word bank was involved) over 2 weeks of school. He's brought home probably 100+ graded math problems. Pretty soon they will start weekly spelling quizzes and I'm told he should expect to do at least 30 minutes of homework per night Mon-Thurs. Is this a normal ramp up that happens in 3rd, or was our K-2 public experience below par? He had very little homeowork K-2nd. He couldn't tell me the state capitol last year, but after 2 weeks of school here he is already telling me about land forms, the major rivers in the US, and so on. [/quote]
