[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- is your teacher a new teacher?

That's a lot of stuff and it's busy work.  The reading should be a priority, but the other stuff?  Let it go.

We found there were certain teachers in school who seemed to think they should give us, the family, assignments -- as if we aren't already doing things as a family and having quality time.[/quote]

+1 After going through the massive amounts of tedious homework with our oldest and taking it way too seriously, we now realize it was mostly fluff and now focus on reading, spelling, and any math homework. Anything that involves printing pictures out, a special last-minute mid-week trip to the store, or anything assigned over a holiday gets set aside and we get to it when we get to it.

Our oldest was in parochial school when we had a ton of family assignments so I assumed it was because of the private school aspect. I now realize that some teachers just think it's a good idea to make the parents participate and don't realize that family projects take away from quality time, not contribute to it.[/quote]
