[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About how many hours a night of homework is there? Honestly this sounds more miserable/militaristic than rigorous. [/quote] How do you expect them to get a rigorous education without homework? [/quote] I think most studies show that excessive homework doesn't actually help kids learn and becomes more busy work when they should be going to sleep. I think there is some value in homework but I would be careful to assume that just because a school regularly gives kids 2 plus hours a night that it means the school is awesome. Maybe something is lacking during the day. Just something to weigh, especially if your kid has other aftershool activities or a long commute that would make 2-3 hours of homework a night a total nightmare for the kid and the parents. [/quote] I'd love to read those studies, PP. Would you please post links or citations. Thanks. [/quote]
