[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actual APS teachers post on AEM that they don’t have time to *really* grade their students’ writing assignments. But go on telling us how rigorous your school is.[/quote]

Hahhhaha.  What writing assignments?  My kids have never written more than about a paragraph. [/quote]

Maybe some of you have kids in some kind of remedial English?  Being serious.  Not our kid’s experience at all.[/quote]

My kid is at DHMS, never gotten less than an A in anything, never does homework, doesn’t write more than a paragraph, is in intensified everything and accelerated math.  I understand that our experience isn’t universal.   But it is true for us, and it is a frustrating situation.   [/quote]

Don't they not have homework because they have 90 minute class periods that are designed for them to get work done in school. If they don't do the work in school then it comes home as HW. [/quote]

That means the kids are learning less. The expectation should be that there is HW!![/quote]

I feel like some folks on here have insane expectations for their kids. Kids don't have to learn 24/7. They work hard in school all day. Let them come home and have a break. Guess what? I barely had any HW all the way through HS. Somehow, I still became a lawyer.

It is hard on adults when we go to work all day and do our job for 8 hours and then come home and do more work. Why would we want to put our kids through that too? Our kids will be okay if they don't constantly work. It is okay for them to rest and take a break and enjoy the fun of being a kid. It won't ruin them for life. [/quote]

If my child becomes a lawyer, then I will count them “ruin[ed] for life.”  I want them to be happy![/quote]
