Tell me how you did this. I have an advanced degree in education and I am totally against mandated homework for kids under 10 -- but that seems to be the norm in VA. Want to hear from other parents how you messaged this to the teacher and what effect it had.[/quote]

Different poster but I just wrote a note saying, "As you know, this is only second grade. Going forward, Zack will not be spending more than 25 minutes after school on homework. He reads for pleasure each day, but if his second grade homework takes more than a half hour, you should be able to see what is giving him such a hard time so it can be taught differently or broken into more manageable pieces, or some other solution. I'm sure you agree it's absurd for a child who has never gotten lower than a 96 on any test, to spend over two hours on homework. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss this further. Thank you."
