[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really struggling getting my 5 year old's K homework done each night.  We don't get home until around 6:30.  Before he had homework every night, it was a struggle just to get him and my 2 year old fed and ready for bed in time (with a little play time).  Now, with homework in the mix, it's crazy.  I've had to push bedtime to later.

AND, the winter break homework "packet" was insane!  We brought it on vacation with us, but still didn't finish it and had to spend another hour on it after getting back.  Ridiculous.  [/quote]

Give me a break, you don't have 10 min for nightly homework? Or even a half hr? Or ONE HOUR when there was one WEEK off from school? There isn't 10 min where your snowflake complains about whatever happened at school -- he couldn't replace that time with HW? [b]This isn't India or China where they're giving 5 hrs of HW a night.[/b][/quote]

Ah, "not as bad as China." What a standard to aspire to.

Oh, and they're getting [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/11453912/Homework-around-the-world-how-much-is-too-much.html]close to 3 hours a night in Shanghai. That's not all of China[/url]. It's still worse than anywhere else in the world.

Finland, where kids average about half an hour a day [b]when they're 15 year olds in high school[/b], consistently ranks among the top in international testing scores (not that those matter that much).
