I agree! Restore homework, especially in upper ES and in MS!

If MS students had 20-30 minutes of homework for each class they take each day, they'd only have 60-90 minutes of homework each night because they only take 4 classes each day, and certain classes (PE and Mascot Time) do not have homework. So even if a kid had a tough schedule (four core classes in one day), that means their other day is much easier, so they can split the homework up over the two days.

The schools not giving homework is contributing to the laziness of this generation. [/quote]

4 x 30 is 120 minutes aka 2 hours. You want 12-14 year old kids to spend upwards of 8 hrs per week on homework?[/quote][/b]

My kid had a good 2 hrs of HW every night in MS. It prepared him well for a challenging HS and now he thinks college is easy.[/quote]

I know a school consoler who said college should no longer assign longer term projects, or homework because they have a life assign classes. Just
Grade on understand of material and [b]if they are having fun [/b]   [/quote]

Bull. There’s no way to objectively grade if “they are having fun.”[/quote]
