[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find our 2nd grader has a minimum of of 90 minutes of homework daily.  I'm tired of it.  She's exhausted and it really cuts into our family time in the evenings -- not to mention all of the friction.

How much homework does your 2nd grader have?[/quote]

That's outrageous. Parents need to complain and make this type of thing stop. So damaging. If more parents and teachers got together, armed with all the research about how ridiculous it is for a second grader to be doing homework like this, things could change. My husband is a professor of education, and in a very nice, disarming, cooperative way, basically said, we're not having our first grader do these piles of crap worksheets all week. No one advocating that it's a good idea for your daughter to spend her time this way has a leg to stand on. Sometimes it's actually this vicious cycle of teachers needing to give more homework to placate parents who think more homework equals more learning, more hard work, and more discipline. It's just wrong. [/quote]
