[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The other big challenge for us was all the homework. I was (still am) shocked and dismayed at how much homework they received on a daily basis.[/b] My son found this VERY hard -- after that long day at school to come home and be expected to do even more school work, when he was exhausted and ready for free time. It didn't go well for us (though my son did just fine at learning and in his reports from the teacher.)

Which district is this that assigns homework in kindergarten?  All of them?  [/quote]

Montgomery County for us. Weekly packet plus a reading bag sent home several nights a week that included reading, worksheets, sight words, journal writing. Then of course the nightly reading outside of the reading bag.
The whole 20-minutes thing was sold to us too, and complete fiction. I seriously doubt anyone actually spent a moment thinking about how long the assignments would take, and if they did, they clearly had no experience with 5-year olds. [/quote]
