[quote=Anonymous]Upper middle class, PhD and MA. One grew up with homework early and often and remembers freaking out about it until a parent said "Just do what you can in X amount of time." Other rarely had homework until 3rd grade. We are generally rule-followers, but when some of our kids got teachers in grades earlier than 3rd who assigned way too much homework, we checked with the teachers about their expectations. We also told the kids (and told the teachers that we were telling the kids) that they need to do their reading and need to spend 10 minutes/grade on homework. Homework is the child's responsibility, as is living with the grades the child gets as a result. My oldest is in high school now. Straight As in all his classes, and he manages his life himself. He has friends whose parents are still riding herd them (and these are not kids with LDs, just parents who can't cut the cord). I hope they all enjoy college. [/quote]
