[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intense? really?

My daughter is in AAP center. She spends 10 minutes a day on homework now in 4th grade. In 3rd it was probably closer to 15 (I don't include reading here as she reads all the time anyway)... There were 2 or 3 take home projects in 3rd grade, and zero so far in fourth. My daughter gets mostly 4s on her report card, a few 3s, so she is doing fine. [/quote]
Yes, intense!! Daily math, vocab words. One or two quizzes a week. Four projects so far. A few cursive sheets every couple of weeks. One to two hours of homework, daily.[/quote]

Our experience has been like the first quote here.  Our base school has the workload in local level IV you are describing.  Like another pp posted, the local level IV has a history of giving a lot of homework (almost like proving their program is hard).

Are other parents concerned as well?  Is your child not able to keep up?  It sounds as though you want to go back to the base.  For what I have heard, going back to your base is an option at any time - you are assigned to that school.  Meanwhile, it is virtually impossible to go to a center mid year from a base school.
