[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whats interesting is the overwhelming number of posts here saying there's too much homework, which is pretty much what I hear from all parents. So why is this happening? Who is supporting it?[/quote] Like the article says, there is always a clique of parents who think the homework burden is "just fine". They are generally outliers in terms of their level of achievement and ability--Exceptionally capable and perhaps their kids maturity level is way above the norm. But these parents have been allowed to frame the conversation. Admins like to feel they are promoting "exceptionalism" even if it leaves the bulk of the class scuffling along to keep up with no personal life.[/quote]
