[quote=Anonymous]I think all parents who hate the homework load should say so and demand better! We just returned from a year in the UK, Scotland to be exact. Legally kids don't have to do homework until secondary school. We were asked if we'd like our child to have homework yes or no. We said yes to see what it was like. There was a bit of homework every week but not due daily and mostly it was longer term projects tied well to the curriculum and involved lots of independent interests of the kids. We can say no to rediculous amounts and we need to make schools more aware of the burden. Kids in Scotland score better on math, science, geography and literature than most american kids and they're not killing themselves....that happens later. [/quote]
