[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a middle school teacher. The only homework I assign is to finish work that wasn't completed in class (often due to phone usage or goofing off with friends).

I had a parent last year tell me that their child would not do any work at home. Well, that child also did no work in class. Parent got mad that the kid had a 0% due to doing no work in class or at home. [/quote]

My kid doesn’t get a lot of “homework” but he does have to spend a good amount of time studying. The school basically has a “no homework” policy, but if the kids aren’t studying and doing the extra practice work sent home that’s “not homework” then they will crash and burn. My middle schooler has to study his Spanish vocab at least 30min a night, do 20min of math studying/practice/ review of notes and then probably another 20 min of review of the other classes, unless he has a paper he needs to work on for English. It’s just over an hour a night.

I also have a senior in high school and his homework/studying load has been tremendous since last year, but that’s because he’s taking a very rigorous load. He’s spent many a Sundays studying all day and I’d absolutely say it’s a true college load.

Though there is “no homework “ actually doing no homework at my sons middle school results in poor test results. They way the frame the “no homework “ it’s baptism by fire in learning independent  self directed study habits. [/quote]
