[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - "BTSN" poster here. No I was not trolling you as you can see from the other informed parents. You can't base your knowledge off a policy posted on a website. [/quote]

You said they don’t have homework. Which is not true. [/quote]

You're still not understanding. There are assignments in class, there is no longer homework. At home:you finish assignments, complete projects and have an option to read 20-30 min each night but its not required. This is APS-wide. The recommendation is that the "homework" not take longer than a certain amount of time per subject; its not saying you will have that much homework each night.[/quote]

I’ve had two kids there so I definitely understand it.

They give assignments actually called homework. Sometimes there is time during the class to finish, many times not, especially as the year progresses and in 8th. And when the bigger projects occur.

Phoenix time (aka study hall) gives some time to work on it but there isn’t always time then either if they have something else to do then.

And reading is definitely required. They even track # of pages.

That recommendation about max homework time has always existed, even if the #s changed. My kids never had the max amount of homework every night in every class. That’s not new.

Who specifically at DHMS do you think said there “isn’t homework”?

To clarify, you've HAD kids there, or you HAVE kids there now? Policy/approach changed this year.[/quote]

Both.

My kid had an assignment called homework this very week. At BTSN, we heard about expectations for homework. And I have a syllabus in my hand that includes info on homework. It’s a % of the grade along with classwork, projects, and tests/quizzes.

Who specifically at DHMS do you think said there is “no homework”? A teacher?
