[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need homework? It is simply busy work to make the parent feel better and it has no real impact on a young student other than increasing stress and frustration. Then again, I'm Finnish. In Finland, students do no homework, yet still come out on top in those international standardized tests. Have faith that your children can learn concepts without having to do mountains of homework. The homework is about YOU, not your child.[/quote] I would like to see third graders have a small amount of homework and then fourth graders have slightly more, etc. It's not about ME, it's because at some point they will have multiple hours of homework and the habit of doing say 20 minutes a night in third grade and then 30 minutes a night in fourth grade, etc helps build the routine and habit for them. I would like for it not to be busy work, but an opportunity to build upon the lessons they are learning. [/quote]
