[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who told you this? My 6th grade middle schooler at Pyle has plenty of homework every day which he complains endlessly about.

My kid at Westland has homework to do every weekday (and most weekends) too.  Not sure who "told you" middle school kids don't get homework.  Sometimes kids can finish assignments in class, but my kid typically has 3 courses a day where he's doing some assignment or other...this doesn't include the time studying for whatever assessments they have for the week.

My kid was at Westland (and is now in 9th grade at BCC) and never brought home homework: she was one of those taking Alg 1 in 6th, language all three years, etc.

This is the point about executive function. Some kids need to finish homework at home, others don't. She still does most of her homework at school in 9th grade, except some pre-calc and AP US Gov.[/quote]

Very few MCPS middle school kids are taking Algebra 1 in 6th grade.  But congrats on the humble brag and that your kid never had homework.  Mine certainly does (and it seems like thoughtful assignments, not busy work).[/quote]
