[quote=Anonymous]Aren't we missing something here? Didn't the school ask students to read 30 minutes each day instead of doing worksheets? My guess is that for some students it takes them about 2 minutes to complete some homework assigned for that age group so if a child were to do the 30 minutes of reading isn't that more work than they would have done otherwise? And possibly more parental involvement as worksheets are often easy and real reading might require a parent/sibling etc. to help out? I went to FCPS as did my siblings and I don't remember that we had any homework at that age but that our father made us set aside an hour+ every afternoon to read and I feel like we learned so much more doing that. Two of us were ESOL (the third grew up speaking English at home) and we all went to Ivy League schools. [/quote]
