[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework in FCPS is capped at thirty minutes up to third grade and then an hour in 4-6. That includes reading. [b]They are not allowed to add reading time onto the thirty minutes.[/b] The regulation says “across all disciplines.” Practice math facts and spelling and read. Most important is exercise and unstructured free play.[/quote] This must be up for interpretation. At Back to School Night DS's teacher very specifically said up to 30 minutes of homework (though she said it probably wouldn't take 30 minutes) plus 30 minutes of reading. I asked because an hour a night is a lot and she confirmed. It actually doesn't bother me as much as it could because DS reads whenever he has free time so we don't need to go out of our way to "schedule" 30 minutes of reading. [/quote]
