[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far so good, our kid is in 1st grade and it seems okay in terms of homework etc, even if there is more than I think the kids actually need. Ive heard it picks up a lot; when does this happen? Thanks[/quote] I would agree with 3rd and the letter grades, but I think it really depends on the child. My older son is in 5th and it has never been intense for him. He is a great student, loves to read, and is intellectually curious. My younger son, who is now in 3rd, is also smart, but does not like school nearly as much. Gets very bored, wants to be more active, and thinks reading is "boring". His grades 1st quarter were still excellent, but it is much more of a challenge to get him to do homework and settle down. That said, homework has never been a huge deal at my kids' school. I've hear that things really pick up in 7th grade.[/quote]
