[quote=Anonymous]For much of the time the kids are saying they are doing homework they are distracted by the internet and their phones. Try having them do homework without the internet or computer or phone and you'll be surprised by how much faster it goes. Also, there are choices here. If your child is playing 20+ hours of soccer a week it might be worth considering whether the school plus club time commitment plus homework is worth it. With that said, I agree that some teachers do seem to think they have to pile on the homework to be considered rigorous. But kids need to read books for history and English and they can't do it in class so there is a proper place for homework. 100 problems sets? Probably not necessary.[/quote]
