[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another teacher here:
It should be 10 min per grade so 3rd grade should have 30 min per hw max.
My DD often had more than that, but she only resisted or was openly upset when doing hw with my XH. We're working on resolving that this year.
See if you can have your DD's IEP updated to include a no HW accommodation or at least reduced workload for HW. The only time as a teacher I've been less supportive of parents who are struggling with homework is when I assigned something as preparation for the next day's class and the parent wanted the child to turn it in two days later for full credit which completely ignored the purpose of the assignment (to ready the child for the next lesson).[/quote]
Ugh - this makes me ill to think we expect our fifth graders to be doing close to an hour of homework a night. Is two hours expected in high school? At what point do we say the system is broken if we can't teach our children during the 8 hours they are in the classroom.[/quote]
