[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If math homework counts as instruction (i.e., if you include instructions with the problem sets), then 15 minutes of math homework a day is doable. My kids are doing at least that amount now (5th and 7th grades).  I don't remember when they started having math homework though, maybe 3rd grade?  So doing this with the early grades will be the issue, but I think the elementary schedule may allow for more flexibility in adding that time during the day, than sorting out MS periods.

ParentVue is totally incorrect for my kids’ ES, but I don’t know what is typical.  Most of their day is math or ELA with 30 minutes a day for science or SS.
I guess I need to read the actual policy and see how they define math instruction. [/quote]

I think the elementary schools are already largely conforming.[/quote]

If I'm reading my 5th grader's schedule on parentvue correctly, he has 28 minutes of math.  I think the periods vary depending on whether it's a "specials" day (ie, on the 2 days without music/art/PE, the class periods may be longer).  That said, math is never a full 60 minutes per day.
