[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whats interesting is the overwhelming number of posts here saying there's too much homework, which is pretty much what I hear from all parents.  So why is this happening?  Who is supporting it?[/quote]

There are some parents on this thread that don't think 3 hours is too much and they just think kids are busy on social media, exercise too much and spend too much time volunteering and that is the problem.

If they would just stop doing sports and helping others the hw problem will go away.[/quote]

No, it will not! DD was playing both school and travel sports last year.  This year we evaluated and she will only be playing club sports where the practice is not everyday, so that she will be on top of her hw, and actually have time ...gasp...study and not cram! Seven subjects and seven sets of hw it seems every night, and with all the new technology teachers are asking for assignments to be turned in by certain times, not first thing the next school day.:roll: And we're paying for this....somethings wrong with this picture...[/quote]

I'm honestly interested how it's seven subjects?  Not questioning your veracity, just curious.  Math, science, foreign language, English, and history -- that's five -- what else is there?  Are there two additional core academic subjects, or are the additional subjects art classes with homework for that, or what?[/quote]
