[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean a page out of a workbook a day at home, or going to Kumon twice a week? [/quote] On average my kid has 1 page of math practice per school day in addition to reading comprehension homework. It’s not just the amount, it’s also the quality, relevance, and how closely it is checked and explained. In my view, schools (at least elementary schools in our experience) are not instilling discipline or work ethics that are necessary for kids to succeed in the future— not just academically. When I was a kid, homework was graded and I was held accountable for completing it and doing it well. Here, there is little to no consequence.[/quote]
