[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just looking at their website earlier today. How's the homework load? I have a 4th grader and a 6th grader.[/quote]

Homework increases considerably from 4th to 6th grade.  About an hour for 4th grade, considerably more for 6th graders.  [/quote]

That's really not attractive at all. ES kids shouldn't be spending that much time on homework. [/quote]

I agree. Are there schools that seriously limit the amount of homework before Middle school? You would think that since they are free from the SOL testing constraints, there would be a better way. [/quote]

Do people who hate homework at least agree their kids should be reading on their own at home a lot?  (so, anti-worksheet but still want their kids to read for fun and not just play video games be on Facebook?)[/quote]

My kids read all the time. At least an hour a day, and a lot more on the weekends. I never have to ask them to read. But at age 8, after school time should be for sports and romping around the yard and family time. Not for more of what they just had 7 hours of.[/quote]
