[quote=Anonymous]I read a few comments on the first page, didn't really read any after that. To be honest, I don't think its the homework that is the issue. I believe as a educator its the amount given. I teach third grade and when I got my students their 2nd grade teacher didn't believe in homework. So when I got them a large majority loved the slow pace of life as you will. The simplest task seemed like the hardest things. I do give my students homework. I even give my students the option to finish it during class if they want. If they have a little extra time during the day. I tell my students its called homework, but I only want them to practice what we learn so they don't forget. It even gives them the opportunity to ask me for help if they don't understand. Usually 80% of them knock out language arts and math assignments for the week in 1 day. Bottom line... its not homework that I believe is the issue maybe its the amount given. Just talk to the teacher about lightening the load a little. =)  If they are gifted teachers all they want is for their students to succeed at the end and be kids while doing it. [/quote]
