[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My son spends a lot of time playing and studying chess for tournaments and his time is better spent on chess than school busywork. DS is above grade level academically across the board and I don't see how homework adds anything for elementary schoolers.[/quote] He won't be hurt by the five minutes he spend on homework either if they are at his level. [/quote] He has 2 reading and writing assignments a week in two different languages - immersion school that takes him about 30-40 minutes each to do. I think it is appropriate for 3rd grade. That's about it for homework at our school although there is a nightly 40 minute reading, 20 minutes each language, that we don't bother doing. There use to be more homework in earlier grades but no longer probably due to complaints from parents. He brings home worksheets (similar to homework assignments in previous grades) fully completed from school.[/quote]
