[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I boycott homework but my kid is in K, so it's entirely possible I may change my mind later.

I think it's really inappropriate for schools to expect kids to get home at 6pm and start homework at what, 7 at night? I'm not sure that a kid is likely to learn anything from that.

Agree with PPs -- the school needs to coordinate so that there's appropriate coverage of homework in aftercare.[/quote]

It is not the school's fault your kids gets home at 6.  It is not like school ends at 5:30.
Ds is in 1st.  The days that I pick him up on the later side I tell him he needs to do his homework in aftercare.  He usually does it and when he does not he has to do it at home.
Those are rushed nights, but running around instead of doing homework at aftercare was his choice.

It seems like OP thinks the teacher should give less homework and SACC should make sure her son does his homework.  I am not sure how OP is not understanding that as the parent she needs to make sure her son does school work during the day and his homework sometime between school end and bedtime.

If OP thinks DS might had issues she needs to get him evaluated.  If not she needs to explain to him that he needs to buckle down in class and get his work done[/quote]
