[quote=Anonymous]So I have a daughter who will be starting third grade. She does very well at school, she usually reads at home without being asked to and she gets great grades at school. The main issue she has is that she is ADHD and OCD (and aspergers), making homework time a nightmare for all of us. She goes to after school daycare, where she has an hour of homework time and then they move on to other activities (reading, music, cooking, etc). I would much rather have her do those things than repeatedly harp on things she's been talking about and working on for 7 hours already. 
But then she gets home and most days homework is still not finished. She usually has a reading sheet (story on one side, questions on the other), a math sheet, a spelling exercise and a science/social studies sheet. Every day. So she gets home usually with math and spelling still needing to be finished. She is only home for a couple of hours before bed time. I hate the thought of using that time for more homework.
I was reading this today and realized I'm not alone:

I'm curious to know what others think about this.[/quote]
