[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"5-7 hours of homework on the weekend" this is nuts. 5th graders are 10 years old. What 10 year old should be spending 7 hours on homework each weekend? That seems completely out of balance to me. [/quote] It is usually the lower end of the ranges I gave. On the weekends, we take advantage of getting ahead in math to lighten the load during the week so that DC can participate in activities. The amount of time spent on the weekends is spit up between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so it is not nuts or extreme. There was a huge jump for my DC in math coupled with learning to organize and focus which has partly contributed to the amount of work. Believe me, my DC still has lots of fun!! I think homework is a reasonable skill and prepares one for college as long a said homework contributes to the education of the child. The homework that has been assigned thus far does contribute to my DC's education.[/quote]
