I agree! Restore homework, especially in upper ES and in MS!

If MS students had 20-30 minutes of homework for each class they take each day, they'd only have 60-90 minutes of homework each night because they only take 4 classes each day, and certain classes (PE and Mascot Time) do not have homework. So even if a kid had a tough schedule (four core classes in one day), that means their other day is much easier, so they can split the homework up over the two days.

The schools not giving homework is contributing to the laziness of this generation. [/quote]

4 x 30 is 120 minutes aka 2 hours. You want 12-14 year old kids to spend upwards of 8 hrs per week on homework?[/quote]

Do most MS kids have enough other things going on that an hour or two of HW a day instead of Insta/TikTok/YouTube is going to be problematic? That should not be a problem for mine, as long as the weekend can be used for doing the work as well.

Limit screen time and let them be kids. What's the problem? [/quote]
