[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is absurd to require children to work more hours per day than most office jobs. In our middle school they told us parents that if our children are spending more than 1.5 hours consistently (i.e, every day for weeks) really doing homework, we should tell the school so they’ll check if it is lack of coordination between teachers or if it is a problem of the student’s time use. My oldest, in 11th, still spends about an hour daily with schoolwork and she’s gotten really good with planning so she breaks the required homework or study in several days so she doesn’t have to do a lot on a single day. [/quote] +1. They are in school all day. Other than essays/papers (which do require a chunk of time that may not be possible in class) there is no need for more than a little bit of homework to reinforce what was done in class. [/quote]
