[quote=Anonymous]On the question of telling the school your child will not be completing all the the homework (different from OPs Q), we have done this a number of times throughout ES. Arlington publishes clear guidelines on minutes of homework per day (like 10 minutes in 1st grade, 20 minutes in 2nd grade etc). I don't track it super closely but occasionally DD or DS would have an assignment that they really weren't getting and was taking way longer than the guideline so I'd just tell them to stop and write a note to the teacher that he/she spent X minutes working on this and needs further help from the teacher. I figure the point of homework is to make sure the child can do the thing they learned in class independently. If they can't, the teacher needs to know that and provide further instruction. [/quote]
