[quote=Anonymous]To OP: I am a teacher and that amount of work is too much. I would suspect you are at a private school. I absolutely would let the teacher and administrator know, at the same time, that this is too much and ask how you can get reduced work for your child, if indeed he is getting grades. I would use the buzzword of mental health stressors and the need for more movement and outside time, which is developmentally appropriate (another buzzword). The admin can let you know what the school expectations are and can be alerted to guide the teacher to back off. If it doesn’t mean your kid won’t be promoted to the next grade or get kicked out, just tell them you will be shortening assignments yourself if needed, if you don’t have success. There is no reason for your son to be made crazy by this and schools need to be flexible. Reach out to the guidance counselor or school psychologist, other parents, and the PTA.[/quote]
