[quote=Anonymous]This is what we do to deal with excessive homework generally. If the teacher is telling you that the homework should take 20 minutes (not including the 20 minutes of reading), then have your son do homework for 20 minutes. Write a note on the work explaining that this is how much he accomplished in 20 minutes. If every parent in the class did this, the teacher would know how long the homework s/he's assigning actually takes. As it is, I suspect a lot of parents make their kids do everything, no matter how long it takes, so the teacher has no idea. Also, I suspect that a lot of parent's are "helping" their kids a lot, so, again, the homework is not reflecting what the kids actually know. That he is not getting the classwork done in class and the other kids are, however, suggests a different problem. It may be ADHD or some other issue, so I would get him properly evaluated so that you can implement appropriate strategies. [/quote]
