[quote=Anonymous]I'm 12:53. I think there is marginally more homework now than when I was a kid, but I don't trust my memory that far back too much. I think the amount now is heavy, but the challenge more comes from the repetitiveness rather than the volume. If it was more creative and diverse, it wouldn't be so onerous. The comment that really ticked me off was the PP who said that academics cared the least about their kids doing homework. Couldn't be farther from the truth, at least in our house and amongst our friends/colleagues. I firmly believe that academic/professional success is more dependent on work ethic and perseverance rather than any "natural" gifts or special innate talents. More than anything else, I think hard work got me where I am. A good work ethic is one quality that I most deeply hope that I instill in my kids. Completing every homework assignment, on time, and as well as it can be done is non-negotiable in our house. [/quote]
