[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are first grade teachers really giving lots of homework? I just kind of doubt that.[/quote] I'm the PP with kids whose 1st grade teachers gave a ton of homework, and I was amazed, too. In one case, an e-mail asking "How long do you want kids to spend on this? Because my kid would need an hour to do the LA legibly" resulted in a significant reduction in the amount assigned and a message to all parents that aside from reading, homework should only take 10 minutes. But a couple of teachers were sure that the more homework they gave, the better it was for kids. There was no talking them out of it, and no way I was going to turn homework into a nightly festival of parental nagging, because that is a terrible precedent to establish. As someone said earlier, that's not how it's going to work in college. [/quote]
