[quote=Anonymous]“. I heard homework horror stories (we have zilch now beyond reading) and tons of projects (also none now). If AAP means more busy work, I don't think it's worth it.” This is not our current experience at WO. Typical homework for 4th: read (only really counts as “homework” I think if your kid normally doean’t read for pleasure so that you need to enforce this), 1 math worksheet, practice on online math system (we do this sometimes not every night and teacher has not told us that’s a problem). other items are spread over the week (ceasar’s English activities) or a month (longer term projects). I find the projects really important at helping develop longer term HW / time planning skills. With that said, if our local had LLIV that would be a great option as the administration and school community feel at WO are lacking. Kids make friends but the admin does not do anything at all to help foster a “school spirit” atmosphere. [/quote]
