[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's just no way your child legitimately has 4-5 hours of homework every, single night, particularly if you describe him as a fast worker and say he's starting it in class.  It may be TAKING him that long b/c he's distracted or doesn't know what he's doing or taking breaks or is a perfectionist but, as assigned, it's probably something more like an hour or less.

I'd suggest figuring out WHY it's taking him so long and then go from there. [/quote]

I sit in the room while DC does homework, I tell DC if has any difficulty understand certain subjects like math just ask, but usually DC doesn’t need. I would ask DC to rest or work faster to go to bed, I see DC work fast non stop but still couldn’t reduce the time. I can’t imagine for average or slow speed kids, they must go to bed in midnight, or they stop doing sports/activities after school. [/quote]

I strongly suggest you check your child's Lightspeed report to determine how much of what appears to be done during school and at home is legitimate school work.

Once you've confirmed they are on task you should talk to your child's teacher/s and guidance counselor. If this is legitimate it is far too much.[/quote]

Yes I checked the weekly lightspeed reports that showed all school related websites.[/quote]
