[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s excessive unless the child is behind. Our sixth grader mastered pre-algebra with straight days with no extra homework time. They are not some genius or anomaly. [/quote]

Disagree.  Throughout elementary school kids all had to read 20min each night.  They didn't say to the advanced readers "oh, don't worry about it".  Homework can strengthen skills, and in something like math where you often need to master concepts and then practice their application, doing a little bit each day can matter.  More power to you if your child was able to have pre-algebra three times per week and fully master it with no other additional classroom time or practice.  [/quote]

That’s apples to oranges. The 20 minutes was assigned for every kid. This person is talking about creating [b]extra homework for their kid outside of what’s required by the school[/b]. Your example was school required reading

Because APS has almost no homework, which doesn't help with mastering and applying concepts.  [/quote]

And many students are doing just fine without the helicoptering. [/quote]
