[quote=Anonymous]We're having a very different experience! My Deal 6th grader gets no test prep worksheets. She also enjoys those independent projects, which give her an opportunity to make the work her own. It's true that she needs a computer several nights a week, but that's usually because she's typing essays or researching online, which really is fair game for middle school. Her pre-Algebra teacher often assigns relaxation activities as homework ("Tonight, your homework is to sit back and put your feet up"), and she doesn't have homework in every subject every night. I also appreciated that the principal asked teachers to avoid winter break assignments, which beats the pants off the massive test prep packets she received at her JKLMO. If I could think of a good cheap shot at the 'burbs in my drowsy state tonight, I'd tack one on, too... but I think that may be the only place we agree.[/quote]
