With standards based grading homework isn't supposed to be graded, so it makes sense that significant projects would be done at school.


This was before standards based grading.

5yo DS just started kindergarten. He gets homework daily. It takes about 5 minutes. We are also told to read 20 minutes per day.

We are not title 1 but have high farms.

My ds elementary is not a title one school. He's in third grade. He has had homework about half the time. If they get the work done in class, she doesn't assign extra homework. They are expected to read 20 minutes a day.

What grade? Our local FCPS did not do K homework until about February or so. First Grader already has homework. It's only reading but it was available at the Open House before school started.

Our school don't assigned homework until October. I'm wondering when other ES assigned homework.
