[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please protect your kids from insane homework loads. Catholic schools, especially HS, are supposed to be mindful of family time. [/quote] Totally your prerogative but we like catholic school because of the homework and because the other parents are the types that like the homework. We think it served our kids well. Our school had a 10 mins per grade (so 10 mins/night in 1st grade, 20 mins/night in 2nd grade, up to a solid hour/night in 6-8, plus weekend work). I know people cite studies that homework doesn't matter, but anecdotally it did to my family. The study skills and academic stamina they built mattered. Start taking away homework and you're a step closer to public school. The testing without retakes, lots of grades and tests and the homework is how you get prepared for high school. [/quote]
