[quote=Anonymous]20:47 - what you miss is that my kid is LD and can't do what they ask without it taking MUCH MUCH longer than an average kid so we prioritize, (and that's no surprise to the teacher.) I think the teacher needs to know, too, when the works takes much longer than they intend.  If it's really important, she'll work more on it the second night. And yes, if she goes to college she'll have to take a lighter course load and try to balance the type of classes so she can allow enough time if her reading and writing takes her so much longer than a typical person. But in elementary school thinking that learning is a torturous event is about the last thing I want. But I realize there are people who thinks it's fine if my kid needs almost an hour to do something that takes another kid 10 minutes. Instead, she'll spend the time school says is the homework target (real time, not running for snacks and sharpening pencils) and we're done for the evening unless it's something extraordinary like a project.
