[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The take home 2nd grade handout wants the parent to discuss early Asian civilizations and Buddhism and Hinduism.  ??  Sure, after I spend 45 minutes reviewing the spelling list and doing a 2 sided Eureka math worksheet every night.  [/quote]

Sorry if you’re not able to be an engaged parent. I’m thrilled to see my kid has actual homework and is doing actual fundamental study of things. I’ve been worried about her spelling for years and was told not to worry about it. So so grateful to have to be an explicit focus now.

And my kid is thrilled to learn cursive, too. [/quote]

I am an engaged parent but after a full day of school it is too much homework.  [/quote]

Then don’t do it and let you le kid get the appropriate grade as such.  It shouldn’t take 45 mins to do a back and front math worksheet and review spelling words.  And you can discuss the civilizations over dinner or bathtime, or heaven forbid as part of reading time.[/quote]

+1. My 3rd grader takes 20 minutes at most to finish both the math and reading homework. If it really is taking your kid that long to get through I would look into a tutor. It’s only going to get harder [/quote]

It is taking that long with a parent helping.  [/quote]

Why would it take longer than that without a parent helping.  Spelling words means a review over the phonics and then the word list.  It's like 1 minutes per word if that.  The recommendation on homework is 10-15mins per grade level starting with 1st.  So 3rd grade the expectation would be 30-45mins.  If its taking longer than that, you should be speaking with your teachers so you all can work together to understand why.[/quote]

I have spoken with the teacher.  They don't offer any extra help for math at school for kids who may not understanda strategy, only for reading, so it forces the parents to spend extra time or hire someone to help.  [/quote]

If your child is struggling with math or ELA, and your teacher is saying they won’t help, then you need to request a meeting with the principal.[/quote]
