[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids go to a public charter in DC and honestly it’s all they can do to keep up with the daily homework. We “supplement“ by taking them to sports practice and music lessons, but not even travel teams or anything like that. [/quote]

Yikes. Which charter?[/quote]

I don't know that it's "yikes" worthy--I just meant that since my kids seem to be plenty challenged by the school work they're assigned, I don't feel the need to sign them up for Kumon or anything. They're very happy there and I think they're learning a lot. Washington Latin.[/quote]

Isn't the new trend to not have homework?[/quote]

Not at every school. My child had homework beginning in 1st grade, and most parents at our school support it. I do too because it's a chance for me to see what he's learning at school, and how well he's learning it. But there are other schools where the parents don't want homework in the early grades, and so the school administration supports that. One of the good things about school choice is that you have a better choice of choosing the philosophy that suits you best.[/quote]
