[quote=Anonymous]OP, Homework SUCKS! Even if you are not helping them it still SUCKS!

In middle school my son can have anywhere from 2-4 hours of homework. Teachers all plan tests for the same day, because it is logical due to end of marking period. We have weekend homework that has destroyed Sunday night family dinners. My extended family use to get together but nobody can because of homework.

My son has sports 2 nights a week. So from 5-6:30, home at 7pm. That means after a snack he is working from 8-10 on homework. Then he is up at 6am for whatever he did not get done.

I have to help him with Math because the way the teachers teach it is hard to understand. I got an email from the teacher that my son failed a math test, 8 chapters. I taught him all 8 chapters in 1 hour and he retook the test and got a 88. That is pathetic. He had no clue for 4 weeks what the teacher was teaching. They of course blame the kid for not trying when he comes for help.

They had to build a castle that looked like one they learned in history using anything they wanted. That project took 4 hours every Saturday for 4 weeks, 16 hours. If it were an art project I would get that he is learning how to work with clay or something else but what did he really learn. Patience, maybe. [/quote]
