[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. She is in GT, but still, she's still a kid. On average each week she gets...

- (weekly) spelling packet due at the end of the week (takes her about 1-1.5 hour total across the week)

- (nightly) math sheets, 2-3, that take a lot of thinking, not just practice problems

- 2-3 nights a week, reading homework that includes writing in a journal

- occasional, finishing up assignments not completed in class

- monthly, a book report project that includes a written report, an oral presentation and a creative project (last month this added up to about 4-5 hours over the month plus reading the book)

She also has the reading log and also does that at bedtime.

The things that involve writing and writing planning can take simply forever. (This is NOT her strong point.) She also has Girls on the Run (2 nights a week) and Girl Scouts (every other week).

It just seems to average out to a lot per night. I wish they would give it all on Monday or Friday and have it due the following week so we could choose how to break it up over the week.[/quote]
