[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] When there are PTA meetings and Survey Monkey surveys about the amount of homework, then it's an issue. My other two are struggling with the amount of homework. The rule is 10 minutes per grade so fourth graders should have 40-50 minutes a night. The kids switch classes and have three different teachers giving them 50+ minutes of homework a night. That doesn't include STEM Fair projects or their TAG projects.[/quote] I agree it s an issue for YOU, and for YOUR SCHOOL. Common Core doesn't require a certain amount of homework per night, though. That is an issue for your teachers and principal to decide. STEM fair and TAG projects have nothing to do with Common Core, either. By any chance do your children attend Glen Arden Woods TAG elementary? I have read on the PG Schools forum that that school seems to assign a TON of homework. Again, not anything to do with Common Core as this phenomenon predated Common Core.[/quote]
